Coming from a family of refugees and migrants it is in his nature to help people in need. Even though he currently lives abroad, Austria is his home country where he was born and raised. Every time he visits Vienna, Tarek gets in touch with us to volunteer. We asked him why he gets involved: “I am overwhelmed with the urge to participate and contribute to the efforts being made to feed, protect and provide shelter for refugees. Despite being in Vienna quite seldom and usually only for very short visits, I am extremely grateful to participate.”
