Two Worlds tells the stories of three young people: a schoolgirl, a footballer and a university student. Each of their stories is told in three parts: World One first introduces you to the character in their home country; the second is a news report – it’s where I first meet these young people and discuss their problems or why they had to leave their homes; World Two shows them trying to get used to their new situations.
As you’ll see, they all had different reasons for leaving their home country. They took different journeys to get to the UK and had different experiences when they reached here. But some things were the same for all of them. They all experienced huge changes in their lives and had to face big problems.
However, their stories also show that we human beings can be strong and that, with love and the right support, small steps can be taken towards a better world. You’ll read a little more about that in the final chapter of this book. I have called it ‘A World of Opportunities’. Well, that’s enough from me for now. I’ll leave you to read the stories. Thank you for choosing this book. It shows you are interested in other people. That’s a good sign. I hope it gives you lots to think about and discuss with your friends and families.
