The volunteer spirit: refugees seize the Rio 2016 opportunity
-
From Syria to Brazil
-
One of the volunteer refugees in Rio is Mohammad Ghannam, a 30-year old Syrian who left his devastated home country two years ago to build a new life in Brazil. "During the Games I want to introduce foreign visitors to the Brazilian culture that I am learning," he says. "I want to show off Brazil's heart."
Brazil has given thousands of Syrians the chance of a new start. At the beginning of May, a 12-year-old Syrian refugee was chosen to be one of the first 10 bearers of the Olympic Torch on the day it arrived in Brazil. Hanan Khaled Daqqah and her family arrived in São Paulo in 2015, under a humanitarian programme run by the Brazilian government. Some 8,000 special visas have been issued to Syrians under the initiative. Hanan now studies at a public school near her home, speaks Portuguese fluently and has many Brazilian friends.
For some Syrians, adaptation to life in Brazil has been relatively straightforward even though they are far from their homeland. Refugees say that Brazil's multi-ethnic culture has helped the integration process.
