I know it must be so hard to leave your country. Everything you’ve ever known, gone. Sometimes even leaving family members behind.

The nerves. The fear. The anxiety. The questions – How will I fit in? But I don’t know the language, what will I do? And the sadness. Leaving your old home, family members. Remembering why you have to leave. Any of these things, all of them, are normal. It’s exactly how I would feel if it was me!

But remember that here in Perth, we want to understand. We want to get to know you and your story. And we’ll be supportive as we can as your new friends!

Australia is your future. Welcome, refugees! – Kacy
