Helping migrants in Germany find their feet

World Update

Available for over a year

In Germany a project called "Start with a Friend" is aiming to link up young Germans with refugees who have recently arrived in the country and who are trying to find their feet. Antonia Klein is 27 and lives in Berlin; she signed up and was paired with 24 year-old Ramy Syriani, a law student from Damascus who had fled the war in Syria two years ago. James Menendez asked them why they had both got involved with the initiative. (Picture: Antonia Klein and Ramy Syriani Credit: Marc Beckmann/Ostkreuz)
