Sajwaa: Would you leave your home if it would save your life?
Shakeeb: Would you leave if another country offered a better life for your family?
Alain: Would you leave your home if you were being persecuted?
Ines: Would you move to another country if you couldn't find work?
Priyanga: Would you, would you leave everything that you had behind, all your friends, all your family, all your belongings, everything that you played with, everything you grew up with?
Sajwaa: I left Iraq in 2006 with my three children, due to the escalated situation back there. There was a civil war in Iraq, and due to my background and my husband's, we were subject to persecution and threats by different parties.
Shakeeb: I left India because in search of more experience and because I wanted to get more exposed in my job. I wanted to learn more different cuisine and I had always heard about Europe that there's more working and good working environment, more job security, and, you know, people are more accepting people from the other part of the world.
Alain: I left Congo because of political problems. In our country especially, everything is not going in a good way. Everything – that means that people are starving every day, uh, children are not going to school. There's no freedom, you know, you can't even express yourself. And, um, that time I felt if I would go back to the country, I would die or maybe to, I would be persecuted.
Ines: Uh, my name is Ines, I come from Portugal, and I came to the UK because of job, because of work. Uh, at the time, it was not as bad as it is now, uh, but I still couldn't find, uh, any sort of work for two years. Uh, for some time I was doing temporary, uh, jobs and these started to be less and less until I had nothing.
Priyanga: I came here simply for a better life. My parents and I, uh, we left Sri Lanka when I was two years old and we had to flee the country because there was a civil war that broke loose and both my parents were, their, their lives were in danger. Um, and we came to the UK, um, we came here in the year 2000, and several locations, uh, applications, like uh, asylum process was rejected, and we had to keep on, keep putting in fresh claims.
What is it that will make you leave your home, home? What is it that will make you leave everything that you have – all your friends, all your family, everything that you own, and go into a different country?

Yeah, I believe, I need learn more about other languages and about computer programming, is awesome!
This video is really great...people leave their home countries to find a good life, and they found it in Britain and I wish good luck for everyone who wants to move in Britain to find a better life maybe better job I think for many reasons.
with love,Gina from Ukraine!
In my book , all people on that planet whether they're rich or poor..all of them are seeking for better chances.Everyone is looking for new horizons for their lives.No one always wants to stand in the same position.Personally I want to travel to UK to study in Cambridge University .Hope to achieve that goal.One day you'll be back to your country..Where you back where you belong...Hope all people's aims will come true.:)
Nice video !
We are all looking for a better life ,wherever it was..that is the main reason why people migrate.Thanks for this great video..
it's great
As they say, the grass on the other side is always green. I could feel the pain in their speech, the pain of leaving home.
I'd like to migrate to the US one day. And I'd probably buy a good house for my parents somewhere near London. Just looking for a better life like most people. Also I wish good luck to everyone considering this.
I have lived in Cyprus for a short time and I did miss home...But when I come back at Ukraine I started to miss Cyprus)))
When you lose something you begin to understand how it was you dearly)
Mayby in the future I will migrate in another country...But I need be strong for taken this desicion...
But I am weak girl))))
Hi Demy! I know, if you go to another country, you see your home in a different way. Do you have any idea which countries you might go to in the future? And I think moving to another country is difficult for many people, so you're not a weak girl ... does anyone agree with me?

Hi Jonathan Rickard!Thanks for answer)
I don't know yet.I was in some countries and there is very different life.
I like Great Britain and I would like to study there.But I don't know how(((
Else I like Greece and Spain.Becouse there is very good and warm climat,I like their food,dances,songs,languages)Greek music is the best!)
But I already had experience of living home and I know that from one side moving abroad is very great but from another is very and very difficalt...
Maybe I just will choose occupation that will give me opportiunity to go there.Same like translater or something different.But for example my english is not so good.I should to work in this direction)

Useful and nice video. :)))
I lived in several countries, like France, Spain, Turkey, and England for a year. I think that it's an amazing experience and I'd like to move to some other country in the future. I have an itchy feet and I can't stay at one place for too long. I'd like to live and study at Cambridge, England.
I haven´t been in other countries but i hope one day I´ll do it.
