In the Wars : From Afghanistan to the UK and Beyond, A Refugee's Story of Survival and Saving Lives

Arian, Dr Waheed More by this author...£10.99

Born in war-torn Afghanistan, Waheed Arian's first memories are of bombs. He spent much of his childhood in refugee camps in Pakistan. Smuggled to the UK at fifteen with just a hundred dollars in his pocket, Waheed found a job in a shop - but the boy from Kabul had bigger ambitions. In 2015, he founded Arian Teleheal, a pioneering global charity that connects doctors in war zones and low-resource countries with their counterparts in the US, UK, Europe, and Australia. Together, learning from each other, they save and change lives - the lives of millions of people just like Waheed.
