Page 26 - A girl migrant's letter

Maisha, no words can describe the pain

I’m going through right now. But I’m glad

I’m alive and safe at the migration
centre. The life I wanted to build with Zuri

is now shattered.

Our relatives will never forgive me for

the shame I brought them. I wish they

would understand the reason why I had
to leave the only home I knew. I only

hope the Authorities here will allow me to
stay. I pray that they will appreciate why

I left home at a very young age!

The dream I had at home was taken

away from me. I must now start all over

again.
