The Black Saturday fires affected more than 70 students and teachers from Diamond Valley College. As part of the recovery, and with the help of an Arts Victoria Artist's-in-Schools Grant, the students of the college joined with Neil Grant  and students from the International School of Kabul to share stories of resilience, courage and hope.
