Ihab and Yousef arrived in Finland in September 2015. For a few months they lived in Turku in an asylum seeker facility near the city. In January 2016 they moved in with Outi, a Finnish woman who offered to host them, while they waited for their request of asylum to be answered. Outi is the local coordinator of the home accommodation movement, a self organised group of people opening the doors of their homes to asylum seekers, in order to help asylum seekers integrate into Finnish socie-ty better and more efficiently.
