On Thursday 3rd of November the Belfast YMCA Friends Forever group visited hampton rotary club. When we got there we were warmly welcomed by every member that taken part in making Friends Forever what it has become today after 25years of hard work.
We had some lunch and a lovely chat with a good few members which opened our minds to what really happens in our lives for example- as teenagers dont need to fight over religion as everybody is the same but with different opions in life.
Me (Chelsea), Tiarna Adams and Eimear Downey then gave a speech to the Rotary about our perspective of living in Northern Ireland and the way that we live as a Protestant or Catholic. It was a lovely day as everyone listened to what we had to say and they also asked questions about what they thought of Northern Ireland and the sectarianism that is still visible. I want to say a great big thanks to Portsmouth rotary for inviting us over to join them and taking their time to help Friends Forever enjoy their 2week stay. Thanks again.
