“The first night I arrived at the foster carer’s she told me to prepare my food and then go and eat in my room,” Loran says.
“I was stressed as I was not good at cooking and it is very strange in Albania to tell people to eat alone. She was watching me and she told me to clean up as I made the food and I could not find the cloth to clean. I chewed and chewed but the food would not go down. I did not eat that night.”
