suffering
However, there is no doubt that the suffering plays a role in Saman's diary, even though it is less than expected, but he stressed that he suffers from some of the daily things because of his disability, but what makes him happy and supportive is to support some of his friends and help him, especially in moving him to work and climbing the car. His friend Khudair Fakher is the closest to him in this field, who told us how committed he was to accompanying Saman; he was proud to accompany the childhood that the disability incident was not an obstacle to completing.

A spiritual guide
Farhad Khayat, a civil society official and a human rights activist, says that the young man's status among the handicapped as a spiritual guide is not by providing employment opportunities to others, but by leading them and urging them to continue. The country is in itself a matter of forcing you to respect such a person who has managed to create a niche and put a fingerprint in a society where poverty seems clear.
