“I want to help because I used to be in the same situation not too long ago and I know what it’s like!” said Ashkan who spent more than six months in the Erstaufnahmezentrum Traiskirchen last year, which is where we met him during the summer. He is now living with an Austrian family and has started a traineeship at REWE, while also learning German. He is still waiting for the approval regarding his permanent stay in Austria. In the meantime he is very engaged with LIFE2LIVE and regularly volunteers with our project: ‘Food for people seeking refuge’.
