After a pandemic break, the Ulster Project Arlington is hosting students from Northern Ireland again. On Wednesday morning, they were volunteering at Mission Arlington.
"When everyone got here, I was trying to figure out who was who and what was what, and I would go up to them and I'd be like, so you're Catholic. So you're Protestant," Arlington host student Taylor Sullivan said."I was told that was sort of rude."
"Normally people don't ask that sort of question, are you Catholic or Protestant, because it can be a really risky question to ask," Caleb Nelson from Carrickfergus said."It sounds a little morbid, but if you ask the wrong question you could get shot.""We're so similar, but we kinda just have to be taken away from whatever stigma was over there to be able to talk about it freely," Tara Kerr of Belfast said.
The teenagers will be in Texas until mid-July, getting a chance to volunteer and sit side-by-side to help future generations see eye-to-eye.
