A Day in Lesvos

Tadhg • 11 • Dublin

Winner

I painted my picture while I was sitting outside of the courthouse in Lesvos island, which is in Greece. Our friend, Sean Binder and other volunteers were on trial inside. They didnt do anything wrong- they were helping refugees- but the government punished them for that. They were doing good work but they were arrested, so we went to their trial to say that we supported them. Sometimes I wasnt allowed in the courtroom, because I wasnt old enough, so I sat outside waiting for a really long time.
