Wala, 10 years old

»I'm here with my parents and five siblings for eighteen months now. We planned to come for ten days only and we only took the bare essentials, but then our house was destroyed.
Whenever there were air strikes in Syria, we went to the basement and spent the day there.
Here at school I learn Turkish and English. After school I go home, eat and do my homework. I do not go out a lot.
I dream of going back again to Syria and I would like to work as a doctor.
I have not celebrated my birthday, but every other day my mother makes something special and that's like birthday.
People help and donate, but we receive nothing from their donations.«
