My name is Raz. I came from North Iraq (Kurdistan). My first language is Kurdish. I came to Glasgow in 2004.
In 2005, I found St. Rollox Church very close to my flat. I started with an English class. It was very good and helpful for me and my kids. We made new friends and it is also good for our mental health and I was volunteer in St. R.
I learned English in St. R better than at college because when I came I love speaking with others and my kids play with others. St. R. makes us happy and confident build up our knowledge. When we came to Glasgow we found friends at St. R. And they became our first home. Still, I am coming to St. R. For my mental health and meeting my friends.
I would love to say thank you to all the staff and people we meet in the St. R. God bless everyone.
