2nd March 2015 Jesús, Terrer Roig Street Dear Walker family, We write you to express our condolences about the death of Anthony Walker. We also are teenagers and we play basketball like him. We wouldn’t be able to forgive because the person I love the most in the world. We know it’s hard but in time you will overcome this tragedy. We go in the different high schools to make aware the young people that the people, white or black, are same, and also have the same rights that white people. We organize awareness campaign in the city and town to explain this occurrence at the people. Yours sincerely. Laura, Noemí and David.
Rosari Street 9th February,2015 Dear Walker family, We are very sorry about this fact. We have in common with Anthony that we have dreams and a whole life to live and we also know racist people for example: at the school and everywhere. You have all our support and understanding and if you need any help please ask us. We are thinking about doing something for this horrible murder doesn’t happen again. We have some ideas about the Walker Foundation’s annual festival. First of all, we can organize a multicultural dinner. Then, we can do a dance from different countries. If you agree with this please tell us and we will start to work. Yours sincerely, Nerea Juárez Aixendri and Laura Rivero Lagomarcino

Dear walker family,we are Àlex and Oscar and we want to writte this letter to you because we really feel sorry about what happened with your son. We have two things in common with Anthony ,we are fighters too,and we know we want to be.We wouldn’t forgive the killers of our son because we can’t imagine life without our son.They didn’t think about you ‘his family’ at the moment to kill him.We want to tell you that we haven’t got a son but, we imagine that it must be horrible. We think that one thing to do in the Walker fundation’s anual festival is a gymcam that would be different cultural people in each team. Before finishing,we want to tell you that we are 15 years old.We are Young but we can understand you fellings. Yours sincerly,
Àlex and Oscar
Nº 6, Jesús Street Nº 9 9th February 2015 Dear Walker family, I have things in common with Anthony like I am Black and young, I did suffer bullying because I’m from a different race. If I were you I wouldn’t be able to forgive because he is my son and I love him so much. Some ideas for your organisation could be: -Do meetings to teenagers. -Enable a web for teenagers with the same problems. -Do an advert. Yours sincerely, Laura Aixendri Salma
Dear Walker family, We’re so sorry about the Anthony’s death. We would like to express that to you. We were in the same high school as Walker. We saw a few people doing bulling to Walker but he continued helping other people who were in the same situation as him. All people in our school know that he is a hero. Definitely, we won’t forgive the murderer of our son. Losing a son is one of the worst things that could be happen to a person. We won’t forgive him, because of the racism that was present in the Anthony’s life. A person who does racism couldn’t be forgiven. But we think that a person who commits racism has to spend the rest of his life in prison. We hope your foundation continues helping people who are in a similar situation like Walker. With this, the work of Walker helping other people won’t be for nothing. We want to donate some money to the foundation but we want that everyone in our school knows Anthony and his case. To do that, we’ll put a small shop in the next town’s festival. In the shop, we’ll sell products which have been used for the students in the school in the past and they don’t use now. All the benefits will go to your foundation. Finally, we want to say some ideas that could be good for the foundation. We think that some meetings in secondary school to sensitize the students about racism and all its consequences. One more time, we’re so sorry, and we send you all of our support. Yours sincerely, Joan and Oriol.
