“What can I say. . . simply that I am grateful to the American government and the American people for this amazing opportunity. I celebrated my 70th birthday in the United States and finally I felt the taste of freedom, acceptance, love and most of all hope. Hope for my children, their children and their grandchildren. Never again would they face the cruel reality that lives on in many far corners of this world.”
“America is a country of many nations and many peoples. From the moment I arrived I never felt like a refugee. I always felt like a dream come true. Living my dream of a better life with more opportunities. Only in the United States can you arrive knowing no one and end up with people that become family.”
