The story of Mohammed
When Mohammed came to meet us the sun had already set. He was nervous about the interview since his German was still not as good as he would like, and English was also not an option. Unfortunately, we could not have a translator with us that night, but we quickly devised a plan to use technology in order to communicate. His story however managed to come across and touch us. Mohammed left Syria sometime in the middle of the war. When we asked him about it, he told us that his family’s house was destroyed during the bombardment of his city. They had nowhere to go so they decided to leave Syria and look for a better life.Mohammed however, did not just leave his country behind, he also left his future. His future as a philologist of the Arabic language. Now he is planning to work as a truck driver and reinvent his life. Play this video and discover his journey.
