A man standing in front of a map of Afghanistan.

मेरो नाम मलिक हो र म ३९ वर्षको भएँ। मेरो जन्म अफ्गानिस्तानमा भएको थियाे। मेरो धर्म अफ्गानिस्तानको मुख्य धर्म भन्दा फरक छ।

My name is Malik and I am 39 years old. I was born in Afghanistan. My religion is different from the main religion in Afghanistan.


A man and woman hugging and a man looking sad standing near them.

धेरै वर्षदेखि मेरो धर्मका मानिसहरूलाई सताइएको छ। यसले गर्दा मेरो परिवारलाई धेरै गाह्रो भएको छ।

For many years, people who belong to my religion have been persecuted. This has been very difficult for my family.


A man in the middle of a war scene and a tank firing in the distance.

केही वर्षअघि एउटा युद्ध भएको थियो। मलाई पनि मार्छन् कि भन्ने डर थियो। म मेरो परिवार छोडेर नयाँ जीवन सुरु गर्न युरोप गएँ।

A few years ago there was a war. I was afraid I would be killed. I left my family to go to Europe and start a new life.


A man hiking thinking about food and a bed.

म धेरै लामो बाटो हिँडें। कहिलेकाहीँ मसँग खानेकुरा र बस्ने ठाउँ पनि हुँदैन थियो। मसँगै यात्रा गरेका केही व्यक्तिहरू मरे।

I walked for many kilometres. Sometimes I had no food and nowhere to stay. Some of the people I travelled with died.


A man and woman standing outside a house smiling and offering food.

अन्ततः म आइपुगें। मैले आफ्नै देशका केही मानिसहरूलाई भेटे जसले मलाई मद्दत गरे। मलाई थाहा छैन म तिनीहरू बिना के गर्ने थिएँ।

Finally I arrived. I met some people from my own country who helped me. I do not know what I would have done without them.


A man sitting at a desk studying.

मैले भाषा सिक्न थाले, तर त्यो गाह्रो थियो। जागिर पाउनको लागि भाषा बोल्नु महत्त्वपूर्ण छ भन्ने मलाई थाहा थियो।

I started to learn the language, but it was hard. I knew that speaking the language was important to get a job.


A man sitting at a desk studying with a clock on the wall.

मैले भाषा सिक्न सुरुमा धेरै वर्ष अध्ययन गरें। यो गाह्रो थियो, तर मलाई नयाँ कुरा सिक्न रमाइलो लाग्छ।

I studied for several years, at first to learn the language. It was hard, but I enjoy learning new things.


A man teaching angles.

पढेपछि काम गर्न थालेँ। पहिले मैले होटेलमा काम गरेँ, र त्यसपछि म शिक्षक भएँ किनभने म अरूलाई मद्दत गर्न चाहन्छु।

After studying I started working. First I worked in a restaurant, and then I became a teacher because I want to help others.


A man teaching a girl sitting at a desk.

म एक दिन अफ्गानिस्तान फर्कने आशा गर्छु। त्यहाँ धेरै मानिसहरूलाई मद्दत चाहिएको छ र म तिनीहरूलाई मद्दत गर्न चाहन्छु।

I hope to go back to Afghanistan one day. Many people there need help, and I want to help them.
