Micha Ovtchinnikov – Switzerland

The consequences of the “Information War” are very apparent here and the situation is unjust to an extreme, yet seeing it in practice gives an insight as to how to combat the plague of propaganda, here and back at home.

The experience provided by the Social Development Centre in Askar Refugee Camp and the kids has proved to be beyond the craziest expectations I have ever had. Apart from one or two distinct features of my life back home, nothing is as pure as the friendship the kids and volunteers have created and cherish. This was a great test, a practical one, for the promotion of human dignity. One word: respect.

I would never have thought to see a city as beautiful as this one amidst the horrors. Nowhere have I felt that the city is just one big family as it is here. As a human I am attracted to this place and it truly is home to me.
