I explained to my class of 13 yrs old special needs pupils the sadness, I felt, the sorrow the world felt and the tremendous suffering that was being felt. All our school of 140 very noisy special needs children and their staff stopped for three minutes of silence to think, prey (many of them are Moslem) It was a wonderful ,but eirie silence, even the traffic stopped outside. The tragedy touched many of them, even in my school there are children and staff who have friends and relatives in NY.

My daughter's school is holding a bring and buy sale to help raise some money for the children of this event. My daughter is giving her best toys to sell, today was her birthday, she's 9. She told us she was happy for it to be her birthday, but she was still sad and it didn't feel right to be so happy ( I felt tears).

At ASDA tonight,(supermarket) there is a book of condolence. We signed, and an asian lady behind us wept and told us how sad she felt, as she signed she told us how evil she thought these people were. The world has been touched.
