Parkland students mourn for friends made in Christchurch. Nearly 30 students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School traveled there last summer to cope with their trauma. “It’s kind of like the same feelings as when our school shooting happened.'
More than 8,200 miles away, in Parkland, students were recalling their time visiting Christchurch, a city many described as peaceful and idyllic, as well as their own trauma.
“It was enlightening to be with a community who could understand what it's like to go thorough something of such a large scale that affects the community, instead of a handful of people,” Davis said. Students from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, gather after planting trees at Halswell Quarry Park Conservation Area on the outskirts of Christchurch, New Zealand, on July 24, 2018.Like Christian, Rachel Taylor, 16, a junior, said she immediately texted her friends in Christchurch when she got the news. She said Friday afternoon that she still hadn’t heard back.
