Mohammad, 16, from Damascus, Syria

My father was killed in the war in Syria. My mother had to stay but I could flee with my sister to Germany two months ago. We fled for almost ten days until we arrived here. It is good to be here and safe. I really wish my entire family could also be here and safe so we can be together like before the war. The people in Germany are really nice to us. We can be free and do what we want. I have a lot of time to play football and I also enjoy to paint if possible,but that's a bit difficult now.
