“I lost it all in one day. Having to leave your country because of war and terrorism, losing your life, education, friends and relationships in a single night is very tough.”
When Ali first arrived in Spain as a refugee, he experienced a mix of emotions. On one hand, he felt relief at "regaining my freedom." On the other hand, he felt insecure because his life had completely changed in a matter of days. He was now living in a country he didn't know, with a language he didn't speak.
Despite these challenges, Ali's strength of mind, perseverance, and language abilities, along with the support of the Special Olympics 'Unified with Refugees' sports platform, helped him overcome these obstacles.
