I came firstly when the British government

My friend Sophia,

she applied for the refugee scheme,

which like, you know, the British people,

suggesting their houses, their help.

Again, so the world so united,

who were, you know, escaping from the war.

And she applied for that scheme,

her and her sister and Harley and Arden.

So they moved to those to that couple
