Nadeen is a young Egyptian woman who came to Slovenia for medical treatment. The initial move was very difficult for her as she did not know the language and was afraid to communicate with people.

Her experience of migration has made her more independent and responsible, and although she remains Egyptian in culture and religion, she is grateful to Slovenia for introducing her to the world. Jasna is a Slovenian who lived in Cairo, Egypt, between 2007 and 2009. She went there after graduation to study Arabic.

When she realized that they were expecting a baby, they decided to move to Slovenia…
