Parviz's transition story

We moved for your own sake. I´m afraid especially in the night in the old house alone. It was really hard to leave the family. I missed my mother, brother, grandmother, uncle and aunt. We gave our friends an album and took a picture together and we cried. My friend gave me a ring.

Hello!

From the beginning we searched for help from the UN to move from Iran. I have no father. It´s only me, my mother, my brother, uncle and my grandmother. For 7 years my mother struggled to move from Iran and one day we got a letter and the letter said that we were going to leave for Sweden within a month. We told everyone and packed our bags. We packed down a picture of my grandmother. Mom packed a dress and skirt and shorts and tools that they needed.We bought airplane tickets and said goodbye to everyone. We went via Turkey to Sweden and we got to go to Linköping where we met a woman called Pouran. We moved to our apartment and after a couple of weeks we went to school. Life without dad is very tough and my biggest wish is to find him.
