the city they now cool home. they came here as kids in 2014, when they were 9 and 7 years old. fling the war in syria terrifying memories. they don't like to talk about. they'd rather their father tell that part of the family story. but the skin machine, but we lived in aleppo, motherhood, and after 3 years of war, things were getting worse. all everything i built over 30 years disappeared in a moment. the latin sidney. i had to leave the family and medicine, the port city inter can with in law and i crossed the sea. we must see. i had decided that either i reached germany law or i die on the way there. ya boss of ya . bumble. he did reach germany, but a year later off to failing to obtain visas to reunite with him, the gulls mother decided to take an equally dangerous rate with the kids without an oil. manette, we went from grease you to north macedonia, serbia on. yeah, cru,

aisha, slovenia. austria, we crossed in all those countries walking or by buffy los haws. mr. girds where it's high, it's and i didn't know what to do. i'm not sure. i don't like to think about those memories. to be honest. i didn't have any other option. miss nelson, them houghton. finally the family reunited in berlin and soon after nama, and donna learned that they would be getting a younger brother. today. the biggest challenge is finding a place for a family of 7. they've been shuttled mostly between one bedroom apartments funded by the government from the harness at this. we've been in berlin for 6 years, living in different areas for 3 to 5 months, each in state sponsored accommodation like this. of course, obama on handling and we carry our backs on our shoulders and wonder, loved little dog, closely pack our stuff. once they inform us, they are closing the facility and we have to look for another place. why it's

difficult not having one place where we can settle. you can't think nor plan anything for the future. there's a constant reminder that you're not settled to suckle, knock on fort la santebanez. as you can see, my girls are growing up and they have no place to put their books to study young the no. what for you though sophia, mohammed was a sports teach him back in syria and he always encouraged his own kids to try sports. it was the girls though, who chose boxing, and that independent decision making has continued to grow. and neither we told them to where he jobs they chose to where he jumps themselves up on his, at the, the amount of bell on a button and on if someone brothers them, i advised them to be polite, his on this helen. but if they are a text, then i tell them to use their sports skills. let he all jeff, be polite 1st. but if it doesn't work out, then they have to defend himself or she had a level as

a me deaf one. and this is where the sisters learned to defend themselves. and i joined box goals, berlin in 2021 late as she convinced her younger sister to join as well her when young i felt anxious in my 1st training session. i was a bit scared and i felt shy because i knew nothing about the techniques. welcome, right. see where i have more confidence. now. i books without china's all fear, without getting nervous that people are looking at me while i'm training. the lower half of them have a fellow at home that this club was different from most other germans who up on the the fact i was not alone with a head scarf in this club and gave me courage. i was excited to see other girls like me. even the coach has the head is covered. she was just like us to sit in some one who trains here and now she's a strong coach. and also the owner of this club is such a very good person. her buck schools was founded in

2005 it's received several awards for its projects that encourages integration. the club members come from various backgrounds, so they all learn from each other and also reflect on their own stereotypes. they are so good developing in the community and they are an enriching the community here and getting stronger altogether. the girls have different role models. they see other girls also feeling free to where what they want and to be who they are. many girls here like adama and donna have experienced discrimination. the club helps them to accept themselves and to stand up for their rights. i think people are so very like they should reflect their racism,

they're internalized racism and get rid of it because every girl and every woman should have the right to do the sports they want to do with or without the job as they, as they choose. they are strong enough for beside themselves. what they want to where do they do is one of the clubs coaches a role model for rama and donna. she was born in lebanon, but came to germany was still an infant that she continues to face discrimination because of her headscarf. despite having lived in germany, nearly all my life higher than my can. hello, this glove helped me reach my goals and boxing shape to me to be the person i am getting hung up because i made a lot of friends here and i found people who respect and accept me without judging me or looking at me as a woman with a she job, who shouldn't be here. i'm an horn. well, that's the difference between this club and other clubs, larva,

awe inspiring other women has always been one of her main goals as food. and i'm also, i've so happy when i see women who were the, his ad coming to the club to train it was because they see it as a chance for them just like it was for me, her for her. and this will change their lives like it did mine. and if i had to hire from her near the 22 year old coach is married and expecting a baby boy very soon. her husband and her family encourage her to pursue her passion for youth. i luton of her, how on earth, hello, she asked me before if i was okay with the tech of with her with that was before she started boxing all with hubby and i encouraged her because i knew her confidence would improve the mom while i felt mazama she loves boxing or without

delay. now she's a good coach and trains over girls. if we would have had a girl been, she would have encouraged her to down promising and sports even now that we're having a boy book, she can still teach in boxing. but darling, rhianna murphy, miss vinny, are you as well in the end? it's a child no matter if it's a boy or a girl, a healthy, the parents will always worry about them and my job in or when i'm asked to are and come from. and i don't say that i'm german or lebanese, or numbered manhattan ally lumpkin, and i answer that i am human being potentially. i wish that people would look at me simply as a human being. and in my i'm so glad to be a woman that keeps me strength as a woman. i have done a lot in my life here. charlotte. oh, a message that to her once to pass on to other girls who live in multi cultural environments. ah,

grandma and donna like to spend their free time with friends and i cone, the well known district in berlin, where many immigrants and refugees have found a new home. ah, we have a lot of fun when we come here. we can feel lead different, our cultures here, but also sometimes we like to change things up and go to new places as the 1 o'clock. we are used to berlin. now we can't imagine ourselves living somewhere else. we feed, we belong here in the moon after missing a couple of years of school because of the civil war in syria. donna and rama found it difficult to study again, especially in a new language. but they did make new friends. germans and arabs had a thing in my school that are germans of my class is all german students. i have fun with them while i had ira, but friends as well. i met them in an institute and some of them lived nearby. but

i really also to those girls as they are similar to my family's culture and then there are my friends and school are mostly are up and turkish with. in my last school, i had german friends with whom i'm still in contact among the weather. malala back along the buffalo daily life is still sometimes a struggle for the sisters. after 7 years in berlin, they haven't settled completely, but they feel more confident that they will find their place. and dream of a bright future. for the home that i have many dreams to accomplish here in germany. first is to graduate from high school college and then study at the university to become a pharmacist. follow what are your i will continue with the sport. so i want to become a professional boxer one day and continue with the sports men and all the leader

classes. i was a kid, i wanted to be a police officer and my dream hasn't changed. that's why i started boxing, and i fell in love with sports because sports will help me make my dream come true . our daughter had at least help me how long i met sutton. i advised them not to sink how people look at them. just think of themselves and show their personalities . form for me it's gone. if they do that, they will be able to do a lot here in germany as loudly. i like that as if a message that these 2 sisters have taken to heart. they're hoping to become role models for the next generation.
