    NORWOOD — More than 15 refugee families have received a tool, created by students, to help them learn the English language.

    Students in Sheilagh Bourassa-Young’s Grade 2/3 class at St. Paul school in Norwood have created an English/Arabic dictionary for Syrian families living in the Peterborough area. The dictionary contains around 100 words, complete with an illustration drawn by the students, a sample sentence and Arabic translation.

    To create the dictionary, students were asked to think of the most important words that newcomers might need to know while adjusting to their new community, including words associated with food, clothing and transportation.

    “We started working on it in February,” says Bourassa-Young.

    She adds the class was discussing the Syrian refugee crisis and they decided to do something to help. Bourassa-Young approached Hajni Hos, executive director of the New Canadians Centre in Peterborough, who came up with the dictionary idea. Hos’ daughter, Lora Ross, is a student in Bourassa-Young’s class.

    “We learned that helping people is an important thing in life and there are a lot of ways to help people,” says Lora.

    Her friend and classmate Emily Gibson says she enjoyed drawing the pictures because it “will help them learn our language.”

    On Tuesday (June 21), dictionaries were given to Syrian families at their English language class at Fleming College
