Forandringens vinde
The winds of change
Centeret har oplevet store interne forandringer gennem de sidste par måneder.
Our center has experienced major internal changes
over the last few months and other changes is on its
way.
The Center School has been moved into the abandoned school in Ræhr. The school has been renovated by the teachers and not least a large number
of residents who voluntarily took a good workload.
Centerskolen er rykket til den nedlagte skole i Ræhr, der er blevet istandsat af lærere
og ikke mindst et stort antal beboere, der
frivilligt har taget fat og knoklet igennem.
Resultatet er imponerende og fremviser
hvordan centerets forskellige medarbejdere arbejder flot sammen, for selvom det er
lærergruppen, der har trukket læsset, har
det været i tæt samarbejde med både netværker og pedeller.
Det har frigivet nogle lokaler på centeret,
som betyder at bl.a. Kreativ Værksted kan
få den plads de har brug for.
Det betyder at Babyschool kan få bedre
plads, og det har været tiltrængt længe.
Heldigvis benytter langt de fleste mødre sig
af vores unikke tilbud til denne gruppe,
hvor de ikke kun får samvær, men også undervisning. Som fortalt i sidste nummer har
babyschool mindsket et uhyggeligt højt forbrug af antidepressiv medicin med over
80%.
Vi kan, og bør, være stolte af det arbejde.
Det betyder ikke kun noget for den enkelte
asylansøger, men det betyder også, at hvis
asylansøgeren får ophold, at de ankommer
til deres nye kommune som hele og raske
mennesker , der har langt større chance for
vellykket integration i det danske samfund.

Hanstholm Asylcenters værdisæt:
The move of the school has freed up some space in
the center, which means , among other things Creative Workshop can get the space they need .
This means that the Baby School can get more space
and it's long overdue .
Fortunately almost all mothers take advantage of our
unique services for this group . They have not only
fun together but also learning. As told in the last issue, the baby school has decreased a high consumption of antidepressants by over 80% .We can , and
should , be proud of this accomplishment
This is not only good for every asylum seeker, but it
also means that if the asylum seeker can arrive at
their new kommune as whole and healthy people
who have a much greater chance for successful integration in the Danish society.
Sincerely,
Lars Andersen, Chief

The result is impressive and shows how the center's

teacher who has taken most of the workload, the
group have been working closely with both networks

En tur til Leos Legeland
Tirsdag d. 11. februar tog Inga, Rie, fire frivillige og 8 mødre sammen med 60 børn til Leos Legeland i Ålborg.
En fik slået en tand ud, men
den sad løst i forvejen, fortæller Inga, der betegner turen
som en stor succes. ”De morede sig og havde en rigtig dejlig

Hvad laver Beboerrådet?
Ibrahim Mohammed er det
længst siddende medlem af
beboerrådet på Hanstholm
Asylcenter, og jeg mødtes til
en snak med ham omkring
hvad beboerrådet laver I
det daglige arbejde.
Ibrahim kom til Danmark i april
2013 og blev umiddelbart efter
medlem af beboerrådet. Han
fortæller at de først og fremmest har tre opgaver, arrangere forskellige begivenheder,
hjælpe nye asylansøgere på
centeret og hjælpe medarbejderne med at holde ro og orden.
Sport som smeltedige
Sport er med til at smelte de
mange forskellige kulturer
sammen, fortæller han. Han
har været med til at træne et
fodboldhold, som
jævnligt spiller kampe. Desværre er
centeret ikke længere tilmeldt en almindelig dansk turnering og det synes
han er ærgerligt.
”Mange havde stor glæde af
holdet. Det gjorde at mange
forskellige nationaliteter arbejdede sammen om et fælles
mål”.
Open House
De var også drivkraften bag
Open House, hvor alle i centeret kunne smage hinandens
mad, opleve dele af hinandens
kultur, og specielt er han glad
for at så mange danske lokale
borgere tog sig tid til at komme forbi.
Nye asylansøgere
Et andet vigtigt mål er at hjælpe nye asylansøgere. Derfor er
det en stor fordel at beboerrådet har mange forskellige nationaliteter. ”Det er nemmere
for en somalier at få hjælp af
en somalier, da vi taler samme
sprog og forstår hinanden”,
forklarer Ibrahim. ”De ved intet, når de kommer her. Vores
opgave er primært at hjælpe
med oversættelse og hjælpe
medarbejderne med at få dem
installeret. I staten ved de intet
om hvordan centeret virker,
hvordan man får vasket sit tøj,
hvordan man får sin post,
hvordan man kommer i skole
osv. Vi hjælper med at bygge
bro mellem asylansøgerne og
personalet.”
De ulmende konflikter
Beboerrådet hjælper også med
at holde ro i centeret, på den
måde at forstå at de hjælper
med at løse konflikter internt i
de forskellige grupper. ”Hvis
der er optræk til sammenstød
kan en neutral mægler også tit

være en god løsning,” fortæller
Ibrahim, der mener at konflikter oftest hurtigt bliver land
mod land og ikke person mod
person. På det punkt er vi meget aktive for at forhindre at
det eskalerer. Ofte opdager
personalet det ikke, da konflikten bliver løst inden den bliver
stor. Ibrahim vender tilbage til
sport: ”Sport er så vigtigt i
denne sammenhæng, når en
afghaner, somalier og en tjetjener spiller på samme fodboldhold, så er det med til at
nedbryde barrieren mellem
landene. Jeg tror folk begynder
at se mennesker og ikke lande”.
Videns udveksling
Sammen med Bjarne var hele
beboerrådet ude og se Brovst
Asylcenter og derefter rådhuset, hvor de mødte Thisted
borgmester. Ibrahim var meget glad for at borgmesteren
tog sig tid til at tale med dem.
”Vi bliver taget alvorligt og det
giver selvrespekt og respekt i
centeret generelt”.
Da de var i Brovst opdagede
han, at Hanstholm Asylcenter
på mange områder, efter hans
mening, er bedre end Brovst.
Pengeudbetalingen virker mere strømlinet og det virkede
også på ham, som om at interview og afrejse til København
virkede mere organiseret.
”Værelserne er store og flotte i
7
forhold til Brovst, og her er det
gratis at vaske tøj”.
Det Ibrahim er mest glad for
på Hanstholm Asylcenter er
dog at medarbejderne behandler asylansøgerne med
værdighed og som hele mennesker. ”Vores råd arbejder
sammen med personalet om
det samme mål, vi føler os
værdsat og der er god sparring
imellem personale og beboerne”.
Tak til danskerne
Beboerrådet har snakket meget om de spændinger der er
imellem grupper i centeret.
90% er gode mennesker efter
Ibrahims mening, og de sidste
10% burde forlade landet igen.
”Nu er vi i Danmark, og alle
vores problemer stammer fra
terror, terrorister og ekstrem
nationalisme. I Somalia er det
fx Al-Shabaab gruppen, en del
af Al-Qaeda, der står bag landets ødelæggelse, sammenbrud af mit land og i den sidste
ende er skyld i at vi somaliere
er her i Hanstholm. Det er så
vigtigt at alle her begynder at
tænke demokrati, og det er vores opgave at bekæmpe terrorisme og arbejde for demokratiet. Det værste, der kan ske er
at vi tager alle vores problemer
med til Danmark. Det fortjener
Danmark ikke. Danmark og
danskerne fortjener tak for at
de har taget imod os”, slutter
Ibrahim.
Ibrahim fortæller at en af de
ting, der virkelig imponerede
på Brovst Centeret var et fælles beboerområde med
bordtennis, fri
kaffe, pinball
maskiner osv.
Beboerrådet
vil se om man
kan lave noget
lignede her.

A good night sleep
Its important for children
to have a good night sleep.
By May, chief of the clinic
It’s important to have some
good sleeping habits. You can
do that by thinking of routines
around bedtime.
If you go to bed at the same
time each night and eat at the
same time each day you will
develop a good daily rhytm.
Just before bedtime it is not
adviced by doctors and specialist to play wild, exercise
hard or watch TV or play computer. On the other hand quite
and cozy rituals like brushing
teeth, a bath and bedtime stories will help the child to calm
down and fall asleep easier.
A good place to sleep is also
important. Not to warm, not
to cold. If the child need a bed-
1-3 years old needs to sleep
12 – 14 hours daily. In this 1-2
naps during the day.
13 – 18 year old needs to sleeo
8 -10 hours. The good night
sleep is still important for your
health.
3-6 year old needs to sleep
10 – 12 hours daily, most children stop napping between
the age of 3 to 5. When this
happens it is necessary to
sleep more in the night.
Be aware of electronic entertaiment around bedtime and it
is adviced to make sure they
dont use mobile phones after
bedtime.
7 -12 years old needs to sleep
9 – 12 hours daily. Bedtime
will often be a bit later.
Many activities can do that the
child have difficulty sleeping
or go to bed at the right time.
time light the best one is with
red light.
Lack of sleep or bad sleep can
(and will) spoil the concentration, make you more sick and
make it more difficult to learn
new things.
You will get more tired, angry,
remember less good and it is
easy to become overweight.
Scientist in Norway has discovered a clear link between
sleeping bad and watching
television in bed. Turn off the
TV and read a book, says the
Norwegian scientists.
A good night sleep is important for both grown ups and children.

Can you save your soul in Afghanistan?
We talk about war but what
if you can't save your soul in
Afghanistan?
By N.Milad Mahmudi
Bacha bazi is an old Afghan tradition of taking young boys,
dressing them up like girls,
with bells tied to their feet,
and let them dance at parties
and weddings. Generally dancing men are relatively common
in Afghanistan, where the
sexes are strictly segregated
and women is not allowed to
participate in such activity.
The boys are owned by single
or married men who trade or
keep the boys as concubines.
the boys ages are mostly from
8 years old to 24.
The bacha (dancers) are often
abused and sometimes bacha
bazi is a business for powerful
people, in which the boy slaves
are seen as important status
symbols of the elite. Everyone
tries to have the best, most
handsome, and good-looking
boy.
I have heard many things like
this when I was in my country
Afghanistan. I have seen in a
news report where a 50 years
old man is saying: "I was married to a woman 20 years ago,
she left me because of my boy.
I was playing with my boy
every night and was away
Hanstholm Asylcenters værdisæt:
from home, and my wife decided to leave me. I am happy
with my decision because I am
used to sleep and with my
young boy."
The boys, who often know no
other life but as chattel, call
the men my lord.
Attempting to escape could
result in severe physical punishment or even death. They
can't go to police. People in
Afghanistan don't trust the police - and often with good reason.
In another news report a man
called Allah Daad, once a mujahedin commander in the
northern Afghanistan, explains
how the boys are enticed into
the arrangement:
“First we select boys in a village and later on we try to
trick them into coming with
us,” he said.
“Some of them stay with us for
money; they get a monthly alHandlekraftige
Tolerante
lowance, and in return we can
have them any time we want.
They don’t stay with us all the
time - they can do their own
jobs and then just come to parties with us.”
Large halls provide the venues
for the weekly parties where
the boys’ owners, invite their
friends to watch them dance.
Several different types of
dances are popular, Daad says.
If the boy refuses to dance or
performs badly, his master
beats him with a long stick.
He explained: “we have to do
that, We spend money on
these boys, so they have to
dance.”
Later into the night, when the
dancing is over, the boys are
frequently shared with close
friends, for sexual favours and
by the end of the evening it is
not at all uncommon for the
boy to have a new owner, as
Konsekvente

the parties often provide the
opportunity for buying and
selling.
Both prestige as well as poverty are the main motivators
for the revival of bacha bazi. A
beautiful boy who is also the
best dancer becomes a status
symbol for his master.
A guy who didn't want to tell
his name is saying in a news
report: “I was only 14 years old
when a former Uzbek commander forced me to have sex
with him, Later I quit my family
and became his secretary. I
have been with him for 10
years, I am now grown up, but
he still loves me and I sleep
with him.”
But at 24, he is getting far too
old to remain a dancing boy.
He says: I am grown up now
and do not have the beauty of
former years. So, I proposed to
marry my lord's daughter and
he has agreed”.
Another little boy, only 14
years old, spoke crying: “I have
been doing this for the past
15
year. I have no choice - I’m
poor. My father is dead in a
bomb blast and this is the only
source of income for me and
my family. I try to dance well
especially at huge parties. The
men throw money at me and
then I gather it up. Sometimes
they take me to the market
and buy me nice clothes.”
My point of view
As human I am really ashamed
of these people who rape
these little boys, punish them
and force them to dance and is
selling them and it’s increasing
day by day. Unfortunately I
have to say that this type of
dancing, sexual abuse and
even the sale of boys has been
going on for years. It’s a despicable culture.
The boys involved are usually
poor, underage or orphans and
they are forced into it by their
economic circumstances.
The government has failed to
do much about the practice of
bacha bazi and police force do
little to encourage public confidence. Local officials do admit
the practice is prevalent but
seem to have no idea how to
fight it.
And Taliban commanders also
abuse young boys as sex
slaves, whom they are training
to carry out terror acts.
Nematullah, a former wouldbe suicide bomber, told Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security (NDS) that
young men, including himself,
endured sexual abuse by their
trainers, according to a September 23 NDS statement.
Doctors and activists in Pakistan and Afghanistan have
medically confirmed that such
abuse occurs.
It’s by no means a human act.
… Drugging and forcing them
into such acts are condemnable by all social norms and human values.
Danish version on page 18 by
the editor.
I Afghanistan abuse of children and young boys are still common.

Kan man leve i Afghanistan, hvis man har en sjæl?
Vi taler altid om krig i Afghanistan, men Afghanistan
har andre hemmligheder.
Af N.Milad Mahmudi
Oversat og forkortet af
redaktionen
Bacha bazi er en gammel afghansk tradition, hvor man udklæder unge drenge som piger
og lader dem danse ved fester,
bryllupper og lign.
Drengene ejes af enlige eller
gifte mænd som sexslaver og
dansere. Drengene er typisk
mellem 8 og 24 år.
Hvis de forsøger at flygte kan
det have meget alvorlige såsom afstraffelse og nogle gange død. Da der er stor korruption i politiet tør kun de færreste søge hjælp hos politiet.
drengene stå til rådighed for
alle deltagerne og ofte skifter
de ejer i løbet af aftenen.
I et nyhedsmedie forklarer Allah Daad, engang mujahedin
commander fra det nordlige
Afghanistan:
Efter min mening
Som menneske kan jeg kun føle skam over at folk i mit hjemland voldtager og misbruger
børn systematisk. Det har forgået i århundreder og det er
en foragtelig kultur.
”Først udvalgte vi de smukkeste drenge, og så forsøgte vi at
lokke dem med os. Nogle blev
hos os for penge, vi gav dem
lommepenge en gang om måned, til gengæld var de til vores rådighed 24 timer i døgnet.
Regeringen (i Afghanistan) har
ikke gjort meget for at bekæmpe den kultur. Selvom flere og
flere deler min holdning også
blandt politiet og regeringen,
så synes de ikke at vide, hvad
de skal gøre ved det.
Taliban bruger også sexslaver
som selvmordsbombere.
Nematullah, en tidligere ”ville
være” selvmordsbomber fortalte Afghanistan’s National
Directorate of Security (NDS),
at unge mænd, inklusiv ham
selv, oplevede massivt seksuelt
misbrug af deres trænere. Læger har siden bekræftet dette.
Danserne er en forretning for
velhavende mænd i Afghanistan, slaverne ses som symbol
på magt og rigdom. Derfor er
de kønneste og bedste dansere
eftertragtet.
Drengene kender ikke noget
andet liv og de kalder deres
ejer for herre.
Hanstholm Asylcenters værdisæt:
Det er dog ikke sådan at de er
hos os hele tiden. De fleste er
kun med til fester og har et andet job ved siden af dette ekstra job.”
Han forklarer at de skal danse
fordi de bliver betalt for det.
Desuden skal de også lave andre ydelser som deres herrer
kræver det. Efter en fest skal

Det er simpelthen ikke menneskeligt. Man giver dem stoffer,
misbruger dem seksuelt fra de
er helt små, og når de bliver
for gamle til dette, bruges de
som selvmordsbomber. Det er
udenfor enhver menneskelig
forstand, at nogle kan opføre
sig sådan.

The school in Ræhr is started
The new school in Ræhr is off to a flying
start. More students attend the classes
and the teachers talk about the good
spirit in the school.
The school has been painted and works well,
even though there are a lot of small things
that needs to be done over the next months.
On the 27th of January the school opened
for the first time in years. Two busses full of
students came on the first day. “It’s very
positive,” says the teachers.
Along side her job in the babyschool Joan has
been the engine of the café area, and she
tells Hanstholm Center News that people
flock to the area. They talk to each other regardless of their nationalities. It’s very positive.
A student , who wanted to be anonymous,
said: “It is okay to learn Danish, but I come
for the coffee, the nice teachers and to talk
to others”.
Riding
Jette is happy to announce that the riding
team starts up again. There are a few places

Biblioteket i Hanstholm ligger i indkøbscenteret,
hvor bl.a. Rikke er bibliotekar.
Hun fortæller til Center News at alle asylansøgere (naturligvis) er meget velkomne på biblioteket. Der er endda lavet et hjørne af bøger på forskellige fremmedsprog, det er bl.a. somali, arabisk, dari, russisk osv. Samtidig kan de skaffe forbløffende mange bøger hjem, hvis man blot
spørger bibliotekaren efter dem. Rikke hjælper
også med at finde de rigtige bøger både i form af
indhold og i form a sværhedsgrad.
På biblioteket kan man også finde sig et stille
hjørne og læse i et magasin om fx computer, videnskab, sundhed eller noget helt andet.
Engang imellem er der også salg af kasseret bøger. Det er bøger, der er i god stand og måske
også er gode bøger, men de bliver bare ikke lånt
ud. De kan købes for få kroner.
Hanstholm Library
The library in Hanstholm is in the shopping Center. Here we find Rikke, who is a librarian. All
asylum seekers are of course very welcome to
use the library, she says. We have a corner with
books in Arabic, Russian, Dari and many other
languages. And we can get almost any book
from Thisted, she adds.
At the library you can also find a
cozy corner to read magazines
about science, health, computers and other subjects.
Rikke and the other librarians
will always help you find books
about the subjects you find interesting.
Sometimes you can also buy old
books for a small amount.
It is free to borrow books at the
library, but if you forget to bring
them back, you will get a fine.

among the 13 foreign victims; the
other eight were Afghans. Ari Gaitanis,
UN Spokesman in Afghanistan said
they had lost four UN staff members in
the attack, and were "very
shocked and very sad"
The UN Secretary General Ban Kimoon condemned the attack,
calling it a "horrific attack".
"Such targeted attacks against
civilians are completely unacceptable and are in flagrant
breach of international humanitarian law. They must
stop immediately.”
A suicide bomber detonated explosives at a Lebanese restaurant frequented by foreigners in central Kabul
late Friday, while two other bombers
managed to get inside the restaurant
and opened firing at the guests, according to officials.
Two others, including the chef of the
restaurant has been wounded.
The victims include the Afghanistan
head of IMF (International Monetary
Fund) Wabel Abdallah, and four UN
employees. A British national is also
killed in the attack.
The first explosion happened at 19:30
in the diplomatic district of Wazir Akbar Khan. Security forces reached the
area and engaged in two hour gunfire
with the two gunmen, said Kabul police chief Gen Zahir Zahir.
The restaurant is known for high security and for serving foreign diplomats
and aid workers.
A senior IMF official and four UN employees were among 21 people killed
in a suicide bomb and gun attack, CaHanstholm Asylcenters værdisæt:

The coalition's leader, Ahmad
Jarba, said it was going to the
talks "without any bargain regarding the principles of the
revolution and we will not be
cheated by President Bashar alAssad's regime.
The Taliban's spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid claimed responsibility
for the attack, which he said was
targeting foreign officials.
There have been a number of highprofile Taliban attacks in the capital
since the start of 2014, after the country saw one of the bloodiest fighting
seasons of the 13-year war last year.
The United Nations has attributed
over 70 percent of all civilian casualties

Peace talks in Geneva
about Syria
Syria's main political opposition
group, the Syrian National Coalition (SNC), has agreed to attend
next week Geneva II peace talks,
to be held in Switzerland.
The aim of Geneva II is to start
the process of setting up a transitional government to end the
war in Syria.
The three-year conflict has
claimed the lives of more than

Mr Kerry said in a statement:
This is a courageous vote in the

UK Foreign Secretary William

"difficult decision", adding: As I
have said many times, any mutually agreed settlement means
that Assad can play no role in
Syria's future.

However, Syria on Friday did offer
a prisoner exchange with rebels.
Foreign Minister Walid Muallem
said he had also presented a
ceasefire plan for the second city

Russian colleague, Sergei Lavrov.
Mr Kerry had previously urged
the opposition to join the 22
January talks, arguing that they
were aimed at establishing a
process necessary for the formation of a transitional governing
body in Syria.
Mr Lavrov is eager for Iran to be
part of the peace talks, but Mr
Kerry has said that Iran must first

transition in Syria.

source of the explosion is still being investigated.
The explosion took place in one
of the vehicles of the convoy, an

"We are trying to ascertain the
exact nature of the explosion,
whether it was a planted device
or a suicide attack."
Taliban spokesman Shahidullah
