Having survived ethnic cleansing in Kosovo in 1999, 1 was evacuated from a refugee camp in Macedonia. I didn't know where I was being sent, away from my beloved homeland. Soon after arriving in Glasgow, I started volunteering with the Kosovar community. Then, for years, I led an organisation supporting refugees. I still volunteer for community initiatives. I'm grateful for the recognition I have received for my efforts to make Scotland a better place for all.
