Hi everyone. I am Abolfazl, I am from Afghanistan. I am about 17 years old; I was born in Iran and grew up there. Last year in April I arrived in Australia by boat. Usually when the people arrive in Australia they must stay in the camp for a couple of months then they will send you to other camps in different States of Australia, so they sent me to Victoria (Melbourne). Finally they send me to the Gold Coast, but I was out of media type="file" key="Untitled.wma" width="300" height="300"By the way, now I am living in Australia. I started my first English class in Milperra High School and also I was there for about a year. When I showed my skills, they sent me to TAFE.

Finally, now I am studying at the Southbank TAFE and hopefully I will get Certificate 2 and then 3, but I am not sure what will I do after.

I want to let you guys know about one of the important religious festival. Shia people call it “Moharam”.The Shia people believed about 2,000 years ago some stupid people killed one of our Imams with all his family and his cousins. The people make an annual festival, but it is a different festival, I mean people must wear black clothes and never be happy or listen to music, dancing, relations (wife and husband) for a month, but the people only come together and cry on the first 10 days. The people going to mosque usually at night and listen to clergy and crying; because the clergy says something about the Imam’s charachter and also about how the other people killed our Imam. On the last days of the festival they make some food and share it with other people at the mosque. Also on that night the people bring candles and light them.media type="file" key="Michael.mp4"
