My name is Soleiman, I’m 22, I live at Palmyra, but, not for a long time anymore.

2weeks ago I took the decision to go away from all of this, I am the only person

left of all my family. They were killed because of this war, and, some of them are

now fighting. The houses are completely destroyed and nobody know if he will

survives tomorrow. All of them are tired and, too weak to even think about

happiness, we don’t believe in this anymore. I had to take a decision and, there

it is, I’m leaving.

 

It’s 00:47 am the city is quiet, I finish to pack up my little bag with a little bit of

food, clothes for 4 days, and I took 50,000 Syrian Pounds. A ferryman should be

here in 10 min. I will hope to end in Italy via Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Libya and

Tunisia. I’m scared, scared because of this long journey wich is waiting for me.

After 10 minutes the ferryman was here.I took my little bag and hopped in to the boat.The journey had begun.

After days of traveling , passing through Israel,Jordan and Egypt we took a break in Libya , in order to gather food and rest. While I was walking through the enormous market, I saw a lady that could barely stand on her feet. I went to help her , and she asked me to get her home.

I took her at her house and she invited me inside. While drinking tea , I told her the story of my life.After listening me she offered me shelther for a few days in exchange to helping her around her house.I accepted without hesitation.

In the evening , while I was preparing the diner, a boy around my age came in the kitchen and asked me who I am. I told him all the story an he accepted me in their house.

A few hours later I sat with them in the kitchen. I was very pleased and I was  trying to be as helpful as I could. We had a great time. We were talking,laughing and even telling stories. While we were talking I saw the boy staring at me weirdly. I asked him what's wrong.. He took and breath and looked deep in my eyes. ''When i was 10 years old i was a lost orphan'' he said. ''My parents died because of the war in Israel. I was the only one who survived. I took all the money i could find and i left. And here i am now.. I found this lovely woman who gave me a great life, a shelter, and the love i needed. I will never forget all those she has done for me.. Now i'm glad cause i can do the same for you.. Welcome in our house. You can stay here until you find your own place!''

I saw the woman crying while she was listening. The boy hugged her and kissed her chick. I was shocked and trying to think to all those he just said to me. It was amazing.. For a minute i got a hope that the world would care about the others someday and the war would end soon.
 

But in a corner of my mind I knew my goal was Tunisia... ;)
After  a few months spent in the house of wommen who welcomes, I feel is the moment  for me to go  in Tunisia, my destination final ._."But one thing holding me... leave and abandon the only peoples who welcome me in her house, like I was family .Without them I might be dead accident or something.But on the other hand I knew I had a single opportunity,  but on the other hand I knew it was my only chance to start from zero, find a job and try to forget the past.
I took my courage and go talk to the lady and the little boy.They were surprised at the beginning but when they understood my choice.After a long thinking they decide to come with me in Tunisia..:)
After a month we had our  plane tickets and rady to leave for Tunisia :-D
The plane took off at 5:30 am
