These words belong to Abdhul, from Uganda, who came to study to The Netherlands and will be the first blind man to hold a PhD in his country.
When I first arrived
people were friendly,
always willing to help
But as the winter approaches
they too, feel as cold
and their pace feels faster
They seem to be rushing
and unlike before,
they are not so nice anymore
(and then he smiles widely, rolling his white eyes)
