The first stop was Turkey, where I worked in a clothes factory for four months (earning the equivalent of £156 a month). After four months I was able to head to Greece, saving enough to be smuggled to Mytilene. After arriving in Greece I headed to Macedonia but the bus stopped in Idomeni and told us it wasn't able to go any further. Idomeni was a makeshift camp with up to 17,000 people waiting at the northern border hoping to cross over to Macedonia. Unfortunately one week after I arrived in Idomeni the Greek/Macedonian border closed and I have been stuck in Greece since. I am a Syrian refugee and proud. I'm taking photographs of my life so you can see what life is like for refugees in Greece. Follow my Instagram @TheSyrianEye As the camp empties out and more and more families are moved to hotels and apartments, young boys are content playing with themselves. I hope their families are moved to hotels or apartments soon so the don't have to play on the dirty concrete floors of the camp. This is Sindos Karamalis. These sisters are so happy and always laughing, they give me hope and strength. I know they can't quite comprehend the hardships they and their family are currently experiencing. But thank God for their resilience, it is that which keeps us strong not only their family. I took this photo of these young brothers in Sindos Karamalis camp. This picture makes me think of my own family. As much as I miss my 5 siblings more than I can express I would not want any one of them to endure the last 15 months of my life. I hope history does not repeat its self so another generation can avoid this turmoil. We are exhausted physically and mentally. There is news that Sindos Karamalis will be closing and all the remaining residents will be relocated to apartments or hotels. I hope this happens sooner rather than later and benefits everybody able to leave the camp. I hope all the camps close soon as winter in Greece is very harsh especially on the elderly and babies. Allah is with you all Today we helped refugees living on the streets. We spoke to them this afternoon and gave them hats and gloves and scarves. I spoke to these girls mother and she said they and their siblings needed hot milk and orange juice. In the evening we went back with hot milk, orange juice, cake and chocolates. When I see a refugee I feel like they are my family as I know what they are going through and we are all human! Thank you Ellie and Tania you have helped me so much and without your help I wouldn't be able to help others. 12 ISSUE 95 / 2016 GUESTLIST I left Syria 15 months ago, fleeing war and hoping to get to Europe so I could help my family. THE SYRIAN EYE: A STORY OF LIFE AS A REFUGEE IN GREECE An out of body experience - the natural way The Singaporean-owned, strangely named Kopitiam Straits Time is a great way to spend your lunch if you're knocking about east London way. The Singaporean restaurant owners wanted to feel at home in Whitechapel so they named their restaurant after Singaporean news outlet Straits Times and in the absence of a Singaporean chef, decided to serve a wide array of sandwiches and salads. Located on 66 Whitechapel High St, London E1 7PL, it's got some great wasabi mayo. SINGAPOREAN SANDWICHES WITH HEART
