Scholarships made it possible

We are originally from Damascus, Syria, and since 2015 we live here in Berlin because of the war and the unstable situation in the Middle East. It is a sad situation as everybody knows, war can take a lot of your life, not only your jobs and home, it can take also your friends, neighbors and loved ones from your family.

One moment you will see and recognize your big losses, and you will be lucky to reach the other side of the Mediterranean, with nothing but your family – your complete family and no one is missing.

Our family is everything to us, and we were lucky to safely arrive in Berlin in the middle of the night with them, and with the hope that God will open new doors for us and for the future. And it was like that. With his will and with good friends from Berlin, we got to know the Berlin Cosmopolitan School community with its wonderful families from all over the world.

It became our new family. Due to generous scholarships, our lovely two daughters are visiting the school ever since. They got a new chance for a normal life and to work towards a better future.

Today we have real friends at the school, and also our daughters. Until now we are so lucky to receive help and advice from the school. Every time we turn to the school asking for help, we receive more than we asked for, it is amazing.

For us Berlin Cosmopolitan School is a gift and a blessing, and our family was saved because of good people working for this school, and from all of their hearts, with a very positive energy trying to support all students and stand by the families.
