Rez’s family is from Kurdish. Her dad was fleeing from Turkey to Iran. After her grandma died in an explosion her mum moved to Iran too. And then her dad and her mum met and got married and had kids. 1 of the kids was Rez. They were in a camp of Refugees in Iran and they had to stay in 1 tent with 6 other families! They wanted to leave the camp so they jumped into the back of a truck and crossed the border to Pakistan. And had an idea of moving to New Zealand. When they arrived in New Zealand they were shocked on how there was no rubbish on the streets. Pakistan was badly polluted and when they saw this it was like a whole nother world to them. Rez never really learned how to speak English the only thing she could say in English was ‘’my name is Rez’’. So at her new school in Auckland people would ask her “how are you” and she would reply with “um my name is Rez?” and people would just laugh at her. Now she works as a youth advisor in Auckland city.
