“Don’t like it here…”

Bicske Refugee Centre, Hungary. November 2004.

Bicske Refugee Centre, Hungary. November 2004.

This boy from Kosovo had been living with his family in the refugee centre for a few months waiting to hear if their application for official status had been approved. He was in a country where he didn’t know the language, where he had no friends, didn’t have a school to go to and didn’t know what his future held. I found him pretending to talk to his friends back home on the telephone. He had no money to actually make the call, and anyway his friends probably didn’t have phones.
