For this activity, listen to the podcast of Yusra Mardini, or read her story on her personal website.
On your blog, retell the story of this amazing young woman from Syria.
There was a girl named Yursa Mardini who was from a place of War & Fighting, so she decided to leave to find somewhere safe to live in Europe. Their journey was mostly on a boat, then rinding a dinghy heading for Greece their motor broke down. Yura was a professional swimmer & she didn't want anyone to drown this way. She, her sister & 2 other people courageously jumped in the water and swam for 3 & a half hours to open water to stop they dinghy from capsizing/Causing a boat to overturn. She saved 20 people that day & was invited to become an olympian of a refugee Olimpic team. She is now training for the Olympics in 2020 in Tokyo, Japan.
