Meet the child refugees who bring kindness to Britain after 'desperate experiences'

mirror.co.uk:

Tomorrow, on the eve of World ­Refugee Day, on a Royal racecourse at the heart of the British establishment, a young Darfuri refugee will lead up the racehorse Shadn at the Commonwealth Cup.

Abdul Musa Adam is the young rider-groom who looks after and ­exercises Shadn at Andrew Balding’s Park House stables, 3,000 miles from the Sudanese village where his family were killed when he was a child.

He is also my friend – we’ve been writing a book together for three years, which is due out in the autumn. Last October, Abdul, 22, became a British citizen.

He couldn’t be a better example of what safety and kindness can give to a human being who has escaped war, torture and ­trafficking after becoming a refugee at the age of eight.
