Greece

If you have a child, you will understand how I feel.

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

I want to have a room with a bed and space to breathe.

I am a lonely woman with two children.

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

My father and brother made it to Sweden; my mother and I are trapped in Greece.

Now I am alone, living in a tent here in Greece.

They took my uncle and he’s been gone for six years.

A husband, a father, a mechanic. Now a refugee.

Even when all else is beyond our control, hope keeps us from giving up.

I know I have to start and build a new life from the beginning.

I am responsible for the welfare of my children.

We hope for peace, friendship, good behavior and good treatment. And my wish is peace.

If peace returns to Afghanistan one day, we will definitely go back. I had a peaceful and good life there. I had a house and a job.
