I arrived in Australia in 2013 with my young son. We came from Darfur, Sudan, however fled to Egypt due to the conflict. My husband and I were separated in 2008 as he was unable to come with us to Australia. With the help of Red Cross Tracing and Diversitat we located my husband and submitted an application for our family to be reunited. After 7 long years we are now together. To be reunited means we can deal with the challenges of life in a new home country together. This has been the answer to our long awaited prayers.

I arrived in Australia in 2008, after spending 20 years in a refugee camp on the Thai-Burma border. I was 6 months pregnant. Unfortunately, my husband was unable to be included on my visa application and remained in the camp. In 2012, with the help of Diversitat migration agents, my husband, father and brother were finally reunited with Daisy and I here in Geelong. My family is so grateful to be together in Australia.
