Majdel, 13 years old
»I come from Dogra in the Sinjar mountains. I have been here with my sisters, three brothers and my parents for three months now.
I saw how Daesh fired at our village.
First, we fled into the mountains. It was very difficult because there was hardly anything to drink. Then we walked to the Kurdish border where we were picked up by cars.
I took only my clothes.
During the day it is difficult for me because I do not see my old friends. I'm missing my home Sinjar and 36 relatives who have been kidnapped by Daesh.
I would be happy if Sinjar is freed again and we could go back.
My only wish is that I can live on.
I would like to become a doctor in future.
And we want to express my thanks for the help we have received so far.
It's good that a school will open here again. I will visit it, I have already been registered.«
