Students at Engjaskóli in Grafarvogur had Mayor Heiða Björg Hilmisdóttir dedicate a buddy bench on the school grounds this
morning.

The visit came about because Engjaskóli is a UNICEF Rights Respecting School with a Student Rights Council that works hard to protect children's rights at the
school.

One of the Student Rights Council's many projects is fighting loneliness, so the council decided to request a bench for the school grounds where students can find each other to play together.

After democratic elections, the bench was named the "buddy bench," and this week Reykjavík Mayor Heiða
Björg Hilmisdóttir came and dedicated it to the delight of the students. The buddy bench was put to use right
away.
