Parkland, Fla., students plant memorial trees in New Zealand

 

July 24, 2018

 

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand (AP) — Delaney Tarr says Valentine’s Day was supposed to be a time to celebrate beauty and love but instead turned into a day of fear when a gunman attacked her Florida school. But now she’s finding inspiration among others who overcame heartbreak half a world away.

 

The 18-year-old senior is one of 28 students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, who are visiting New Zealand this week.

 

The goal of the trip is for the students to learn how to keep a youth movement going long after a tragedy has faded from the headlines. The model is New Zealand’s Student Volunteer Army, which began helping citizens in Christchurch after earthquakes devastated the city, including a 2011 quake that killed 185 people. More than seven years later, the group is continuing its civic-minded work.

 

As part of their visit, the Florida students planted 17 trees on Tuesday to commemorate each of the students and staff members who were killed at their school. They placed pictures and notes with the saplings, and recounted memories of their former classmates and mentors in a ceremony that brought many of them to tears.

Looks like they were already in Christchurch doing the groundwork in July.

Does anyone know what happened to Sonofnewo?

 

He was the one of the only people breaking down Charlottesville and the car "attack".

 

His youtube vids are gone, and his twatter is deleted.
