German neighbours team up to oppose expulsion of Kosovo family

The Gashi family must leave Lauterbachu, Germany, even though it has been well integrated. Three years ago, the Albanian couple Adriana and Speed Gashi, that world with two children, had come from Kosovo to Germany. The oldest girl is only eight years old, and she follows her second grade in elementary school, her six - year - old, and she goes to the kindergarten. The third daughter, born in Germany and is two years old, was also accompanied.

Parents speak German fluently as children speak in the local dialect (shwäbisch) at the mother tongue level. For several years now, Speed Gashi is working on taking “ (Glück”).

For a long time now, the family is living under threats of deportation that have been compared to Damocles' sword. Now there's the letter: The Gashi family must leave German territory, even on Saturday. That they here feel like local, that they've found jobs and friends, that they're living in a residence in Lauterbach, that they haven't been using social aid for a long time, all of this isn't helping the family with the asylum procedure.

Once again they were faced with deportation. I wrote a letter that I urgently needed Mr. Gashi, since the good master of dye can't be found easily”, reminds German entrepreneur of the company Thomas Glück, writes “Schwarzwaelder-Bote” For his venture, circumstances have not changed much, the situation with lack of personnel remains further unclear. This time, however, this cause has not helped in the German authorities ' decision of foreigners. Adriana Gashi too wanted to start in professional life, but because of the prospect of deportation, it has not been equipped with work permits from the relevant authorities.

What exactly does Gashi family have to do with it? “They're so well integrated that they can't be seen at all as refugees”. But now it's late for everything, since there's no legal space left to change things. Even so, residents are biased to help, and are urgently organising humanitarian action.

“Whoever wants to donate something to Gashi's family may be handed in an envelope to the school secretariat in Lauterbach or to Thessy Buchholz in the kindergarten, as well as to the association's account {Wilkommen”, has explained the leader of this initiative, Sonja Rice. “will then send the money to the Gashi family in Kosovo”.
