I would like to play football

Mohammed Almafalaani is a 15 year old boy from Daraa, Syria.

I only studied until the 3rd grade. My life in Syria was not very good. My school was destroyed and during the siege I went to live to my grandfather’s house that was a bit safer. I learned to grow potatoes there with him and how to grow other plants and vegetables.

I came here to Denmark with my family after we were reunited with my father.
Now here I go to the integration house but also 8th grade. I hope to continue my studies and get a degree in something. But I would also like to play football.
