Hawas, 14 years old
»I still have one sister.
My three brothers and my cousin have been kidnapped by Daesh.
I have lived for four month with my parents in this camp. We used to live in Sibasheik in the Sinjar mountains.
There were many difficulties, when we came down from the mountains where we had fled first. We were hungry and thirsty. I saw them shooting at us. We then made it to Kurdistan.
At the moment I don't go to school and before I was in the ninth grade.
I'm doing very little during the day, as I am not in contact with my old friends from Sinjar. Sometimes I'm walking around and just talk with others about Sinjar.
There is nothing that makes me really happy.
I miss my brothers who were kidnapped and my home Sinjar. At night I'm dreaming of my brothers too. My greatest wish is to see them again.
In future I want to become a doctor.
I would like to express my gratitude for the humanitarian assistance that we have received.«
