| Summary: | Discover what it is like to be a migrant trying make a life in another country. Saranda was 13 when she and her family fled from Kosovo in fear of their lives. They were Albanians, no longer welcome in their homeland. She tells us about being a refugee, living in a camp in Macedonia, and about how her family ended up in the UK. In Liverpool, unable to speak English, the family became asylum seekers, afraid of going back to a life in limbo. Six years on, Saranda is a fluent English speaker, well educated and happy, but still wishes she could visit her real home in Kosovo. Anne-Marie left the island of Mauritius when she was a teenager to build a new life in Italy. She got a job, met her husband, had two children but still felt she had no prospects. The family decided to come to the UK where her husband had relatives. So the family got in a van and drove to London. She explains what happened to them. |
