I'm Aziz.

I'm from Afghanistan.

I came here in 2004.

When I entered

the Transit Accommodation
Facility for minors

it was the first Transit
Accommodation Facility

built by Mrs Lora Pappa.

I went to this Facility
in 2005.

Four years later, in 2010

Mrs Pappa invited me
to join Metadrasis.

Once I joined Metadrasis

our collaboration started
up until today,

it's 10 years now,

and I'm proud
for being a part of Metadrasis.

I started school at Metadrasis.

I've finished school here in Greece

and I work as an interpreter
at Metadrasis, 10 years now.

We help refugees a lot,

and minors because I was also
a minor and I know

how it was, how it is
for the minors.

It's extremely difficult
when you are in a country

without any help
and you are completely alone.

You need help from people
who can offer help.

Metadrasis has really helped
minors in this matter

and women who are alone,

men who came with their family
and had no help at all.

We have assist them
through interpretation,

dealing any legal manners

and…

with anything else
they needed help with.

Metadrasis gathered supplies

and distribute them
to families and minors,

such as clothes, shoes
and milk for their children.

I'm Aziz,
I'm from Afghanistan.

I came in Greece in 2004.

I was an unaccompanied minor.

I went to the first Transit
Accommodation Facility

for minors that was built by
Lora Pappa, at Anogia in Crete,

where I stayed
as an unaccompanied minor.

I learned Greek there

and then I continued learning
the Greek language there.

In 2010, I was invited
by Mrs Lora Pappa

to join Metadrasis
as an interpreter.

I feel very proud for
being a part of Metadrasis

because I was
an unaccompanied minor

and I feel how it is
to be an unaccompanied minor.

When we offer guardianship
to the unaccompanied minors

is very important
to be part of it.

I feel very proud to be a member
of Metadrasis organization.

Metadrasis is like a family to me.

I'm glad to be able
to help all the children

who are minors.

I am happy to be at Metadrasis

and I am able to assist
unaccompanied children.

This is the same way
I got here too.

We assist them
via interpretation,

as it is very important

for someone to know
your language and

to be able to say
what you want and feel.

To be able to have
someone to hear you out.
