Hamed has been living on Lesvos for seven years after fleeing Iran.
While many move on, he made the decision to stay and build a life
here. He now works with Makerspace, an NGO that repairs
electronics, bikes, and other essentials for people living in the
camp. His work is practical, but also deeply personal—helping
people maintain a sense of dignity and normalcy in difficult
circumstances. In this episode, we talk about why he stayed, what
home means to him, and the challenges of life on an island where
everything feels temporary. People come, people go—how does it feel
to always say goodbye? How does he navigate friendships, work, and
uncertainty? And what are his dreams for the future? Makerspace:
