Burundian Family

Sir, - I am Shawna Cleary and I am 10 years of age

Sir, - I am Shawna Cleary and I am 10 years of age. I am writing about the article on Tuesday, May 5th about the Burundian family of Joseph Ntidendereza and Carinie Barwendere who might be deported. Their children Lionel and Andrea attend Carysfort National School and Lionel is due to make his First Holy Communion on Saturday. They have made plenty of friends. They have had a very sad and difficult life up to now. I would be very sad if our Government forced them to return to Germany or any other country where they could be in danger. Please have a heart and reconsider their request for asylum. - Yours, etc., Shawna Cleary
