Yenar, 11 years old

»I came here four month ago with my four sisters, four brothers and my parents and we feel all fairly well.
We used to live in the Sinjar mountains.
First we fled into the mountains for eight days and it was very hard because we did not have enough to eat. We walked by foot for two and a half days, until we finally reached the Kurdish border. Then they drove us here with cars.
I've already been registered for the new school, my favorite subject was religion in the past.
I meet my friends here and my favorite game is just running for fun.
And I help my mother in the household.
I also have many friends, but I'm not really happy. I miss my village in the Sinjar mountains.
In my dreams I see fearful things and must always run away.
I would like to be a teacher.«
