Ahmed's story

Ahmed, 14

When I left Afghanistan and came to this country I was on my own. 

I lived with my uncle. He was very mean. He didn’t give me good food and he was always angry. 

I went into care but kept being passed onto different social workers and I started missing school. I was scared and lonely. Once I even ran away. 

A lady from The Children's Society’s project in Sheffield listened to me.She understood how I felt. Now I go to school again.
