Rezq fled to the Netherlands three years ago. He lived for a time in the azc in Utrecht without his wife and children. That was a difficult time for him, but he kept himself busy with photography and volunteering in the vegetable garden. Fortunately, his family was also able to come to the Netherlands. They have been living in the Netherlands for about a year, and are now living near the Ledig Erf in Utrecht. The whole family is busy learning Dutch! They have a son of almost 4, a daughter of 12, and a son of 14.

As buddy families, you can do all kinds of things together. Eating dinner together, going to the park together, hiking, going to the zoo. Doing things you do with friends! We prefer to find a family with children about the same age as the children of Rezq and Jamila. Would you like to do fun things together with another family in Utrecht? Sign up with Eline at eline@welkominutrecht.nu.

Do you want more information? Here you will find beautiful experiences of other buddy families. If you have children of other ages but would like to sign up as a buddy family, you can of course do that too!
