Find An Opportunity I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE READER WHO IS INTERESTED IN READING MY WORDS AND LEARNING ABOUT MY DREAM OF BECOMING AN EFFECTIVE MEMBER OF THIS BLUE PLANET AND ABOUT MY ENTHUSIASM TO LEAVE BEHIND A POSITIVE LEGACY.

Turkey is a beautiful country and has a lot of wonderful spots, but for me, as a Syrian refugee, it was difficult to enjoy these places because I had to work 12 hours a day in order to live. I worked hard to find a golden opportunity to start my life and paint the future I’d dreamed of, but unfortunately, I was unlucky. Turkey is not a country of opportunity, so it wasn’t until I saw a video seeking Syrian researchers for postgraduate studies in cooperation with Kiron that things began to change. Optimistically and immediately, I opened the link to register and started typing in my information. Fortunately, I was accepted. Initially, I participated in a business management training course as part of a program sponsored by the company SAP. I learned some things and found some opportunities, but the most beautiful of all these groups of volunteers is the organization Kiron. Here, I felt the love and security I had given up when I left my house and my family. Kiron has people of many different nationalities, but the difference here is that the organization is dedicated to and only interested in assisting and cooperating to provide everything necessary to help us to start again. All thanks and love for the continued progress and success of this wonderful organization.

51 MURAD SULEYMAN

I am Murad Suleiman, a 24-year-old Syrian national. But, as you know, there is a war in my country, so I left Syria about a year and two months ago and went to Turkey, which is where my tale begins.
