Larib: a story of change from Lisbon

I´m Larib and I came from Pakistan. I live in Portugal with my family and my favorite thing about Portugal is the beach. I love going to te beach with my family.

In Portugal I have learned many things… I want to study to become a doctor.

People are very nice, but I miss my country, my family who stayed there, my friends.

I´ve been learning portuguese at Renovar a Mouraria with Wemin project. The project also gave me the opportunitie to participate in workshops with people from different nationalities, learn from them things about their culture, participate in the decoration of the big popular party “Arraial de Santo António” and make new frends from Portugal, Nepal and India.

I also had the opportunitie to taste food from several different countries and my family had a street food point at the popular party in June. It was very fun and we all were very happy to feel part of the neighborhood.

My young brother attends the Study Support groups at Associação Renovar a Mouraria, as well and I also did a training program to become a local guide in the framework of another european project “Migrantour – NewRoots”
