I am currently working in a grocery store. In Syria, I used to work as an aluminum carpenter. Due to the situation in Syria, my family and I had to emigrate from Syria under very difficult circumstances. Our only hope was to return to our home country, as we have been away since 2012/13. And now, because of the law, we cannot return."Noureldin Moutaweh:"I am Noureldin Moutaweh. I am 45 years old. I am from East Ghouta, Syria. I emigrated from Syria in 2012 because of the chaos of the war. I used to own a mobile shop and now I am working in a hardware store that is not related to my previous field of work but is able to support my family, which consists of my wife and my 7 daughters."
