Falmouth & Penryn Welcome Refugees

My father's struggles for more than 4 decades to keep running from bombs, saving, and providing for his children in war-torn Afghanistan resemble the struggles of millions of other war-torn people. But my parents still kept their belief that humanity and compassion will always prevail over evil. Even now, I'm amazed how much he thinks about millions of Afghans who are suffering rather than himself even though he is very frail and grieving for my late mother. They also continuously encouraged me to have a bigger dream than they could have and keep chasing it. That's one of the main lessons they could teach me despite not having any formal education or means to educate me while constantly on the move to protect us. But that was enough to inspire me. I modelled their resilience to learn #NeverGiveup My heart goes out to all those who don't have their father's around anymore.
