Community meeting with unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors from Afghanistan.
A team of social workers from IOM Bulgaria carried out a community meeting with 27 unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors, accommodated in the Safety zone in RRC Sofia- Voenna Rampa. The children were introduced to the accommodation order, the consequences of non-compliance with the internal rules in the zone, the need to maintain good public and personal hygiene, the right to medical care, the opportunities for studying Bulgarian language as well as the paramount importance of good communication, discipline and mutual respect. IOM Bulgaria staff provided translation into Dari and Pashto.
This activity was implemented within the framework of the project “Support for asylum seekers in Bulgaria” co-funded by the European Union under the Asylum, Migration, and Integration Fund 2014-2020.
