“My dream was to continue my education,” says Nasrollah Jaffari (23) from Afghanistan. He

describes how he was threatened by “an armed group in our region who is tyrannical” and, fearful of being coerced into violence, “was forced to make a decision with my family and escape from the region, to run away.” It was, as he puts it, “a matter of life and death.” Yet on the long journey to Europe, he recalls, “there were a lot of difficulties … I have seen people losing their lives.” Memories of this time are still with Nasrollah, especially first thing in the morning and at night. “Being far from all my family members is really hard,” he says, but it is also his family who keep him strong: “My morale has not been harmed and I try my best.” Now in a camp in Greece, “the worst possible situation for a human being,” Nasrollah feels “hopeful about the future.” His dream is a career in sport, he says, to help “my family, then my surroundings, and then to help people who are truly in need.” Full Story
