Amnesty event opened children's minds and eyes.

Pupils thoroughly enjoyed the whole visit. Were very enthusiastic and many asked if we would visit next year. It was an excellent day and I will have no hesitation in organising a visit again next year and recommending it to colleagues.

Brilliant! We got to buy books, got our books signed, and do drawings which gave us ideas.
