TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese World Cup winner Yuki Nagasato, who in 2020 made history by briefly signing on loan for a men's team, has called time on her 24-year professional career at the age of 37.
A large number of refugees are waiting, in Malaysia, to be relocated to another country and this period of awaiting resettlement can sometimes be long.
“Being unemployed in a foreign country takes a toll on their dignity and worth, so we try to restore it by offering them a chance to acquire new skills and produce quality jewellery,” Goh says. “We currently have four artisans crafting gemstone jewellery in our workshop.” Since refugees are frequent targets of bigotry and xenophobia in Malaysia, Hamed hopes that Malaysians will begin to see refugees in a new light.
“He wanted to impart his skils to some of the refugees upon seeing the difficulties they had in getting by,” Goh shares. When these jewellery pieces are marketed to consumers, it gives the refugee artisans a platform for their voices to be heard.During one of the team meetings, Goh asked them to define the meaning of peace and what it means to them. One of them responded: “Peace for Afghan people is like a dream. We try to find it and jump to catch hold of it, but it eludes us.”
A computer science graduate, Ehsanullah once owned a store back home, a life that became disrupted by conflict. “This reflection captures the challenges of living in a war-torn country... the workshop gives them a space to experience a form of peace and hope through their craft,” Goh states.
