Afghan refugee in Germany makes it his mission to help - Deutsche Welle

Emdad speaks German. He goes to school and volunteers at the Federal Agency for Technical Relief. He will also help build refugee centers. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether the Afghan refugee can remain in Germany.
"We are not going to let go of our Emdad." Ruth Müller-Albrecht puts her arm around the young man and pulls him close. Her voice sounds defiant, as if she wants to convince him, and herself, that things will really be as she says - that Emdad will be allowed to stay in Germany, in Saarland and at the Technical Relief Agency (THW) in Neuenkirchen - where he currently trains once a week as a disaster relief worker.

Nevertheless, whether he will really be able to stay is anything but certain. Despite the fact that he has been living here for four and a half years. Until now, Emdadullah Mohamand has only had the status of someone who is "tolerated" under German law, that means he could be deported back to Afghanistan at any time. That is where he came from in 2011, as an unaccompanied minor, he was 14 at the time. He was a scared teenager that could neither read nor write, had never been to school, and couldn't speak German or English, only his mother tongue of Pashto. - Read More at DW - Refugees
