Many people have skills that they used in their old lives, which they’re keen to use again. They may be doctors, teachers, lawyers or artists. Some of the people that Three Peas have met have volunteered as maths teachers and translators. Others have gone on to make a living as hairdressers, restaurant owners, jewellery designers and even sculptors.
Three Peas help run a centre where people can take language classes, receive advice and make friends. They even helped three little girls find an after-school dance class, which really helped them settle into their new country.
As people learn the language of their new country, and their children go to school, they can start to make safe, new, happy lives for themselves.
Three Peas was started by a group of friends from six different countries. They are a small organisation, but have achieved an amazing amount. As they say: “Imagine if every single one of us did something small to help? Together we could make a big difference!” You can find out more about Three Peas here: www.threepeas.org.uk
