Two Algerian brothers

Sam and Chokri (23) are two brothers from Algeria. Chokri has a gentle smile, reddish hair and amber eyes. He spends his time weaving bracelets from plastic ties and yarn. His brother Sam had already left in 2010 to work in several countries and asked him in 2017 to come join him. He left Batna first by car, then took a plane to Istanbul to meet Sam. It took Chokri 30 days to get to Mitilini that June. He hopes to get asylum for Italy. He asks me how I spell my name. The next day he brings me a bracelet. I still have it!.
