Photo stories from the war zone
“When we first arrived here from the war zone, I had to build a house but I had no idea how to even begin,” he told them. “So I went and watched how my neighbours were making mud bricks and building the walls, and I copied them.”
“It was a hot day, but she was covered up, from head to toe,” she says. “I asked her grandmother why this was and she said that Sama always feels cold and is constantly sick due to her poor living conditions. She particularly suffers in winter because the house is freezing cold.” The grandmother told Gulshan about the house she used to have back
home in Nagorno-Karabakh. It was a good house, she said, with everything
she needed. But it was burnt down when the conflict began and she had
to flee for her life. Sama’s parents live in a house, provided
by the government, very close to the war zone. Although it is a proper
house with more modern facilities than the one she is living in with
her grandmother, Sama refused to live there because she is frightened
by the sound of gunfire.
On their return to the area a few weeks later, the team brought Sama
some clothes, as well as some children’s Scriptures. They also
gave a concert, which was attended by thousands of refugees, including
Sama. These stories relate to projects 50610, 71803, 71815 and 71818.

(right) is seven years old and lives with her grandmother in a makeshift
house near Agdam, a town close to the Nagorno-Karabakh war zone. Sama
and her grandmother were among the refugees who were visited on two
occasions earlier this year by a team from Kitab Shirketi and different
churches in Baku. Gulshan Huseynova, the Director of Kitab Shirketi,
was particularly struck by the pretty little girl, who looked ill.
