This week's speaker is Shahin Sadafi. Born in 1984 in Iran, his earliest memories are of a country ravaged by war and then, at nine years old, being forced to flee in fear of his life. Shahin and his family moved to the UK and made London their home, specifically an apartment block in west London called Grenfell Tower. On June 14th 2017, fire ripped through the building. The Grenfell Tower fire killed 72 and injured many more. Shahin was one of the few survivors and this week is his story.
