A High School in Florida, USA have set up a lunch time club to make sure no one sits alone to eat. "We dine together" aims to make sure every student has someone to share their lunch break with.
Students in the club roam the High School at lunch time and if they see someone alone, they approach and introduce themselves.
Denis Estimon came to the US from Haiti as a child and remembers feeling alone as he started school. He says, "If we don't try and go make that change, who's going to do it?" Denis set up the club with his friends.
Denis added, "It's not a good feeling, you;re by yourself. And that's somehting I don;t want anybody to go through."
What's happening in the picture?

Denis could just sit with his own friends at lunch. Why do you think he chose to set up the club?
Why do some children sit alone?
How do you think a student feels when approached by the We Dine Together Club?
What do you think is the impact on the school?
Could we do that at our school?
What can we learn from Denis?
Why is this story about No Outsiders?
