Niloofar:

“We wish for our children to lead a different life than we had to. They should never have to be afraid. Whenever they walk down a street, they should know that they are human beings and that they are worth just as much as everybody else around them.

Our daughter Donya got a place in an Austrian kindergarten. We’re so happy for this chance, but also a little bit worried. We are only learning German very slowly because it is very difficult for us and so we’re not able to teach her. What if the teachers won’t understand when she is trying to tell them something? But Donya is a very happy and active child and hopefully she will learn the language fast. She already picked out her own little kindergarten bag and is looking forward to playing with the other children. We hope that she will be fine.”
