first day in a new school
can be daunting at the best of times
but camilla has just escaped from a
country at war
[Music]
along with her mum lena she traveled
five days from the ukrainian city of
european to this town in south west
france
i'm happy to see my daughter running
playing going to school with a smile
says elena it is the greatest happiness
for me
camilla and her mum are just two of the
roughly three million people who've left
ukraine so many of them children
[Music]
a terrible trauma for a little girl who
is not yet four
but she seems to be coping
for the moment things are going well
we have to give her time to get her
bearings there's still the language
barrier we learned a few words in
ukrainian for the essentials
day one of a new life
and a little colouring in
so things can't be too bad
