Majida, 13 years old, lives in a refugee camp in Iraq/Kurdistan, (please look also here and here and here)

»There have not been any major changes in my life, since we saw each other last.
The best moment in the camp was yesterday, when I spent my day with my class outside the camp and had a picnic.
Once I saw my uncle, who lives in a camp near Dohuk. Apart from that, I have not heard any news about my former relatives.
I don't want to go back to live in Sinjar. Only once I would like to go back to my old village, look at it and then I come back to Zakho, where I'm living now.
Nobody helps me to forget what happened in my past.
I remember very well my life before our escape from Sinjar. I would immediately find our old house if I go to my old village. Our house had a garden full of trees: We had olive trees, pomegranate trees and vines.
The best place in the camp is the school, there it is just nice.
Most of the time I stay inside the camp and when I go out I only go to the neighbouring fields and meadows.«
