The pink document is my school report. I brought it because I was the best in my class. My favourite subject was Maths. I had so many friends in school. I miss them. I’m still in touch with some of them but not all. Most of them are still in Syria – but one friend is in Austria and one is in Sweden. Nobody else is in Germany. The kufiya was a present from my dad. I got it for the journey. It is a Palestinian headdress. I used it to protect myself from the sun in the desert. We all had one but a few got lost. My brother also lost his hat in the desert. It fell from the top of the pick-up truck. We kept my cap in a bag. That’s why I haven’t lost mine. I got it in Damascus. I like it very, very much. I’ve had it for a long time and I will still keep it when I’m a granddad. I got the two books from a boy who sold them on the street. He asked whether I wanted to buy them, I asked my mum and she said I could. The red book is by Agatha Christie and the other one is called ‘The White Elephant’. It’s a detective story. I haven’t finished it yet. Nezar, 11, Student
I also had a pair of sunglasses but I don’t know where they are.
