RESPECT International Blog

The Brownstones to Red Dirt website is the result of RESPECT International’s letter exchange program as experienced by non-refugee students in Brooklyn writing to refugee students in Sierra Leone. The website showcases the lives of students living in Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn, United States of America, with refugee students living in Freetown, Sierra Leone, aged between 10 and 12 years old. The website contains:

• A variety of photographs with subtle expressions.
• Inspiring videos of students from both countries talking about their lives and hopes for the future.
• Salone Diary: a daily report of the Brownstone Crew during their visit to Sierra Leone.
• Links to discover more about the places mentioned in the website.
• A mailing list to invite people to become part of the Brownstones to Red Dirt Community
