Meet Hussein. He is 17 years old refugee from Pakistan. I met him by the river today. He came and sat with me, we talked and he told me his story. I must admit, I had some preconception about him at first but after spending some time getting to know him I realized that he is very polite, friendly and little bit confused young man far away from home.
I got reminded of this beautiful quote: "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about."
Tapasin tänään jokirannassa 17-vuotiaan Husseinin. Hän on Pakistanista Suomeen tullut pakolainen, joka osoittautui alun ennakkoluuloistani poiketen oikein mukavaksi nuoreksi mieheksi joka on hieman hämillään uudessa maassa, kaukana kotoa.
