Felix (r in the picture) a ten-year-old from Shushi, who is attending fifth grade of primary school in Stepanakert asked us if we were from “Santa Claus country?” when I went to visit bombed school number ten in Stepanakert on Wednesday, Dec 23, 2020. I asked why he asked me so, and he said that he wanted a brand new tea shirt from Messi soccer player. He said he likes the new school in Stepanakert but he said that he misses his own school and his classmates in Shushi.
His friend David (L in the picture), won’t leave him alone. They walked shoulder to shoulder with one another as they had finished their classes for the day. (Photo/ Vudi Xhymshiti)
