Political Instability

The people of Europe, they that think that we just came here to look for money. No!

We only had enough to get this far, here in Greece. Now we’re stuck.

​You have to have faith and trust in humanity.

Everyone has his own road and his own destiny.

I said, “God, OK, if today is my last day, let it be.”

" I want to leave something for my children and grandchildren. The Italians give me a place to sleep and food, but I need help finding a job..."

“Call your family. Send money.” I said, “I don’t have family. I am an orphan.”

My husband told me to go to Germany with our youngest son because I am a math teacher and can speak English, and because I am strong.

"I like being in school again..."

Because I am almost fourteen and the oldest son, I am responsible for our family.

The first day I came to Italy, I had a friend, an Italian friend.

Our life was very good. We were very comfortable and happy.

I graduated with a degree in journalism and joined the Afghan police force.

We decided to leave and sold everything we had; there is no way back.

It gives me a bad feeling … that I am safe and my friends are still in trouble.

We left Iran because we are Afghans.

I hope I can find a good life and that I can continue in my profession.

ISIS began invading our village on the first day of the revolution.

The journey is very, very risky. Many people died — a lot.

God knows what I am, so He will help me.
