A refugee has shared her incredible story of fleeing her country disguised as an old woman in a wheelchair. Niloha Rangel, who is a doctor originally from Venezuela, had to escape from her home country after her campaign work led to threats from the country's authoritarian regime.
Niloha felt like she had no choice but to flee her country by crossing the border between Venezuela to Colombia. With the help of the Salvation Army Niloha managed to come to the UK and is now living in Wrexham.
This week marks Refugee Week – a UK-wide festival celebrating the contributions, creativity, and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary. According to Niloha Wales should be proud of its nation of sanctuary status.
