Tama Vakeesan was born in Switzerland to Tamil parents from Sri Lanka. This week she talks to Ola, who's 20, and fled the war in Aleppo, Syria, with her family a year ago.

Since then, Ola has not only learnt German by taking free classes and practicing with friends, she has also set up and run a successful crowd funding campaign. Within five days she had raised the money needed to attend an integration course in order to become a biomedical lab technician.
