their inner world must meet with their outer world. “The inner world is where fears and unreasoning joyousness, fantasies and intuition move and speak” (Igoa, 1995, p.46). Immigrant children mostly feel fear, isolation, and loneliness because of the cultural differences they are experiencing.

Eastern people after joining the Muslim community in 2014.
