We are all humans! We led a normal life and we had many thoughts for the future. When I was in Afghanistan, I worked as an engineer.

In a workshop that took place in Veria’s refugee centre, we read the book “The painter who painted a blue horse” at a group of refugee children. The main theme of the book was to teach children to follow their beliefs and to go against their fears with confidence. In the end, we asked them to draw their fears and put them into a box, so later we could take the fears away.
