TESTIMONIALS
"I am really proud of you. Scotland is as much as your home it is anyone else's and I'm delighted that the community has come out to celebrate. May you all prosper in this country and may you all be proud Yemeni but also proud Scots and benefit from all that this country has to offer - so congratulations and thank you very much for inviting me. Thank you."
Sabir Zazai, CEO of the Scottish Refugee Council.
"Celebrating the values of your adopted new home Scotland, celebrating Robert Burns as your new poet, but also nurturing and valuing your own poetry in your culture; this is integration in practice. This is what integration is about. We do not want to be assimilated, we want to be integrated. We want to be accepted and want to be valued as people with hopes and aspirations. I am pleased that I am here tonight and I would like to thank Dr Shawki and everyone who is volunteering, all your founders and supporters to help you to come to this place and be together for tonight. You are working together to build bridges across differences and that is very, very important. There are leaders around the world who are building walls and divisions, we want to make sure to show that refugees are people who can build bridges, who can build friendships, who can reach out to one another and connect with one another."
Sabir Zazai, CEO of the Scottish Refugee Council.
