Ehsaan, 12 years old

»My father is dead and I came here with my mother and my siblings one and a half months ago.
I only took my clothes. In Syria, bombs are thrown out of planes and people are killed.
I sell handkerchiefs to earn money for food. I have no friends, only Achmed (see next child).
We talk about our situation and are afraid of the army and we are dreaming of going back again. The food in Turkey is not as good as it was Syria.
My desire is to grow up and work in Syria.
I have never celebrated my birthday. I just want to return to Syria.«
