Collage about Home
"I came one year ago from Mosul, Iraq. I am now 30 years old and I want to finish my study because I was in Artistic college but just for 2 years and I didn't finish because I left my country because the 'war'. Now I want to study and I thinking about interior design college. Thank you.
I came here with my husband and my kids because my husband's work move from Dubai to London. I like to live in peace and safe place with my family. And I want and wish all people to be good and respect each other. I want to be perfect in English language. I like to cook and walk and live a healthy life. I like my husband and my kids too much. I hate the 'war' because I lived (there) with my family before and it was terrible time". Asmaa's Story

Noura added these Proverbs to her suitcase
We are not given a good life or a bad life, we are given a life. It’s up to us to make it good or a bad life
Cannot be kept by force it can only be achieved by understanding. Peace begins with a smile – Mother Theresa When I was 5 years only, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy”. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life – John Lennon We are all humans why can’t we live in peace? |
