The story of Yusuf
When we arrived to Kutina there was this little guy playing video games on his smartphone. "My name is Yusuf", he said to us, "I'm from Syria". This thirteen year old kid has a hair like professional football players, and - imagine this - he likes it. We asked him who is his favorite player. He took a stand like he is going to shoot a ball right in the right corner of a goal. He proudly said: "Kertziano Ronaldo". This is a story of Yusuf.
