Making Home Away

The lack of electricity is hardest.

Our faces and hair look different here

Honestly, I can’t handle it.

May God help you with your water!

It is better to suffer at home...

Nothing has a taste

We were hoping to go to Za’atari camp, but they assigned us here.

The problem is that I forget a lot these days

we stayed for two years in Jordan and they were very difficult years...

the priority was for Lebanese children...

But here in Canada, it is different...

I want one thing, that God protects my family.

... having legal status brings you a different life ...

At least we have a roof above our heads now.

I believe everyone can create his own home. You can make your own home by the relations that you develop with people where do you live. It is not exclusive to a specific piece of land.
