'It's rare that you get a gift as a child refugee'

Mevan Babakar was a refugee from Iraq in the 1990s. She stayed in a refugee camp in the Netherlands for five years. A man who worked there bought her a bike 鈥榦ut of the kindness of his own heart鈥�.

She was five years old and has never forgotten it. Now she鈥檚 29 years old and she wanted to find him to thank him. So, she posted a picture of him on twitter and asked for help. And she found him!
