Mr. Mohammed Shomaf Shkwa

Married with four children , he worked in the Syrian Air Force as a pilot until he received the demobilization , and then began working in homemade dairy and cheese . Return to the Republic of Abkhazia year and two months ago after selling it to his property in Syria.

Once I arrived to the Republic of Abkhazia made a request ​​for the Returnees Committee for a house in a village , and has been approved and receipt one in the village of Khibsta province Gudauta , the house was a need to reform and been helped with some by the Returnees Committee . We started to stability and coping here , also Mr. Bota Ajiba Help me graciously to get some jobs but it did not fit my situation , so I bought a car and began to work as a taxi , but the language was one of the difficulties that I faced , and that was a reason also not to be able to communicate with the people around me , however , I see them as a good heart and love to help . Now I work in the field of agriculture ( greenhouses ) with percentage the work needs a large muscular effort , but even more appropriate now . We did not meet our Abkhazian family and I find this aspect of social life in Abkhazia is negative they rely on the tribal and families system which weakens the state . The idea of ​​returning to the Republic of Abkhazia have been around for a long time as it was with my father but my circumstances in Syria have prevented us.

Thank for this great Republic for its great help despite the weakness of its potential , and I thank Returnees Committee and all who helped me so that I can establish a new life in my homeland.
