Ibrahim Gets a Perspective

Nine-Year-Old Dreams of a Home for His Family in Erbil

LOG/WoH continues to address the fate of individual young people. In addition to the girl Ruquaya, who lost her entire family in the war, the aid organization is now also supporting nine-year-old Ibrahim. He was born in Syria and had to flee the ISIS militia with his parents and three siblings. Ibrahim’s father, a chemistry and physics teacher, has been teaching refugee children in a camp near Erbil for eight years. His greatest wish is to live with his family in his own apartment in Erbil and to leave the camp as soon as possible. LOG/WoH is helping Ibrahim, with small financial contributions, to progress, especially academically, and perhaps even study in Germany one day – just as his eldest brother, who now lives in Stuttgart, did. Vice President Ralf Bülter: “With relatively modest amounts, we can help Ibrahim get closer to his ultimate goal. Like others, we want to give him a future and leave his permanent life in the camp behind him." The government in Kurdistan is doing a lot in this regard: The large camps from the immediate post-war period have been reduced from approximately one million people to about 300,000 today. Many displaced people have returned to their ancestral homelands thanks to appropriate programs.
