TARDY-refugees-28
Bushra, 23 years old, from Dara’a (Syria); in Irbid (Jordan) since 2013; student in Pharmacy on a DAFI scholarship. “Due the war, our family was separated. I live here in Jordan with my mother and two of my brothers. When I came here, all I could think of was “when will I go back?”. Studying was not in my mind. Eventually, I enrolled in pharmacy studies. I didn’t have a scholarship then so for two years, life was very challenging, financially speaking. I worked as a home teacher to support myself. But now that I have a DAFI scholarship, I can fully concentrate on my studies and on getting the best possible grades. In the future, I will help rebuild Syria. The society there will need a good drug delivery system, among many other things. I don’t expect the war to be over by the time I complete my BA in two years. So I’ll probably have to do my master’s here in Jordan or abroad, if ever that is possible.”
