Participating in the project Yep4Europe has given me an extra impulse to work even more with refugees and to get to know them more closely and to help them. I&#8217;ve chosen to tell the story of my father because he is my power and inspiration. This is not a sad story, on the contrary. He is part of me and his story is that of a refugee that only wanted the best for his family. Cherish your parents, love them because life is short and in one way or the other, we&#8217;re all refugees. We&#8217;re all citizens of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Text Priti:<br \/>\n&#8220;His\u00a0name\u00a0was Krishan\u00a0Lal and he left\u00a0his\u00a0studies at the age of 12 to work as a farmer. At 16 he left India to go to Europe to find a\u00a0better job and earn more money to help\u00a0his\u00a0family. He had a long and hard journey. He travelled through Holland, Germany and then he\u00a0finally reached Belgium. After a few years of struggle he\u00a0received papers to stay in Belgium. He\u00a0met a\u00a0wonderful woman who became\u00a0his\u00a0wife and they had 3 kids together. He\u00a0worked as a chef in Brussels for 25 years. When he was on holiday he used to cook and invite everyone to share\u00a0his\u00a0tasty cuisine.\u00a0There were always leftovers.\u00a0He could bring you a world of happiness. He was a wonderful brother.\u00a0He organised the weddings of\u00a0his\u00a04 sisters and 3 brothers. He was a very caring father and a loving husband.\u00a0In 2011 he had a heart attack and died on the spot.\u00a0His\u00a0wife and children\u00a0didn&#8217;t get the chance to say goodbye as they\u00a0were in\u00a0France.\u00a0His\u00a0love was unconditional and will always remain in everyone hearts.This wonderful, simple, honest, funny and generous person\u00a0is\u00a0my dad.\u00a0His\u00a0story\u00a0is\u00a0part of mine. I&#8217;m so proud to have\u00a0his\u00a0name\u00a0and to be\u00a0his\u00a0daughter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Priti - Papa\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/186562098?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">Hello everyone, I would like to thank my parents and the entire team for the opportunity they gave me to participate in this wonderful project.
