“As a refugee living in Greece, I faced a lot of difficulties. Whatever happened, I never lost hope, I was always telling myself: it’s not the end. There will be a new start. And I was right. At the moment the whole world is suffering from this pandemic and especially refugees. We should educate children. We should listen to music. We should learn that all human beings are equal. The situation that refugees are in is temporary and will pass. We should always have hope. There is always brightness after the darkness.”
