Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in the world

“My son is studying far away, I keep thinking of him constantly. I suppose Rashid’s mother is thinking of him the whole time too… I’m trying to take care of Rashid* the same way I would like someone to take care of my child, if he was in a similar situation. It’s really nice to know that, for a few months, you have been like a mother to a kid that is away from his family…”

These words belong to the mother of a 20 year old boy, hosting during the last 4 months Rashid*, an unaccompanied minor from Afghanistan, through METAdrasi’s project “Foster Care for Unaccompanied Minors”.
