“I was happy to see a great person with a human
heart and soul. Thank you for being you”
Quote from an asylum seeker
“Dear Dyma Ni, Thank you very much. I love all of you and will never forget you. I miss you. You are in my heart forever. Without your support, I couldn’t survive. You were like my family, and all other asylum seekers should know that they will never find such a supportive people elsewhere”
