Last week a 14 year old boy drowned in a lake in Berlin. He happend to be the ambassador’s son of Sierra Leone and he was also a pupil at the school my boyfriend teaches. Everybody was shocked and very sad, because he was such a nice boy. He was kind, friendly, and very well behaved. He was a very good sportsman and he played the drums as well. Its such a loss for his parents and all who knew him. I never personally met him, but it touched me deeply to hear, that such a good person had to die. The school did a memorial meeting, where some pupils had made a film in which they showed clips of the boy and interviewed his mates and the teachers. It was a very good film and such a good way for everybody to express their grief and let it out. There was a memorial service today at the church he and his parents attend, so we went to pay our respects. It was a very touching ceremony and tho it was a sad occasion, I’m glad I went. I’ll include a link to the embassy here and the article in the papers.
