Kholiud is from Lebanon and she arrived in Sweden with her husband and young son in January of 2016. Moving to Sweden from Lebanon was challenging for Kholiud but she dedicated her experience to helping others.
We ended up moving to Sweden from Lebanon as asylum seekers as me and my husband had done a silent revolution against the regime and religious people and as a result achieved the first civil marriage. But because of this, we were threatened to death and had to flee. We arrived in Sweden and were sent to a camp close to Klippan then to Fur in Karlskrona
I like a lot about Sweden, it’s people, it’s nature, and it’s laws. All humanitarian issues. Equality between nationalities, races and other issues. I’ve experienced the beauty of nature with my family, we’ve swam in the lakes, gone fishing and we’ve eaten from the forest fruits. Moving to Sweden from Lebanon is challenging because everything is so different.
I have a bachelor degree in English, so I started helping Arabic people with translations in immigration offices and in hospitals. I’ve done a few project with the Red Cross – projects for women concerning cooking food from the Middle East and sharing it with Swedish people. I have also organized different groups in the camp to prepare them to Swedish life -integration. I organized women’s groups, children’s groups and football groups along with the camp manager.
