ASIL (AFGHANISTAN)
APRIL 2019 TO MAY 2020
Hey!! My name is Asil, I come from Afghanistan and I’m 17 years old. Two years ago, I was one of Habibi Center’s students. I studied English there almost one year. On that time, I wasn’t able to speak English or Greek. I had only one wish and it was to speak English, to communicate with different people and make new friends. One of my friends, called Neymar, was already studying in Habibi Center and he gave me some information about the Habibi Center, then I thought it’s a good opportunity to take an advantage and learn English. I went to Habibi Center, it was an exciting day I still remember, that Stephanie opened a book and she told me read let me see how you can read it, I started to read the book but it wasn’t really well so she said is going to be good if you start from beginning. Moreover, at first, I thought it’s just a normal class as others, but after a while I realized no this is what I wanted an English class with a lovely atmosphere like it attract me to come every day and continue learning English with amazing teachers. I didn’t learn English only there, I learned how to be kind how to be friendly and how you can give positive energy to others without paying something. I didn’t pay anything to Habibi Center because it was for free and I appreciate them to make this opportunity for refugees, I think learning English is very important because English is an international language who almost everyone can speak all over the world. So, after a year I learned to speak English no one could believe me, all I have is because of Habibi Center I never can forget their help. I’m really grateful of Habibi Center and beautiful teachers hope one day I can pay back a little of your kindness.
