Meet Safer

Safer comes from a family of five, and all his siblings have attended ALC at some point in recent years. He and his family fled Pakistan two years ago when their home was burned and destroyed. As a Pakistani refugee he and his siblings understand the other students in ALC yet they’ve had somewhat different experiences. He loves cooking and can even make dishes like seasoned potatoes on his own. He dreams of becoming a chef just like his Dad. He likes ALC because it gives someone like him with no chance of going to a local school a place to go and gives him a chance to fit into the community he finds himself in now. In the past two years he’s been working to begin speaking Arabic and read, write, and understand English. His favorite subject is English because he wants to help his father, who has a Pakistani food shop, learn to also speak with local customers.
