Before I went to Ireland, I had a small construction company, but the company started to have problems and I ended up with a big debt, which I couldn’t pay. I decided to leave, work and pay everything off. In the beginning we lived in a camp, but then we were placed in different locations – I was allocated to a mental hospital – this was just how we were distributed. It was horrible! I couldn’t take it. I was away for 9 months.

The first thing I did when I came back, was to hug my family. The second thing I did, was to start a rabbit farm with the help of IOM and I want to keep doing this. At first, I made some mistakes, but I learned some things as well and I want to continue working in this direction. The small land that I have is not enough for me to grow vegetables.
