For Bo Fredriksson, owner of the construction company, and former bank director in Skara, the newly arrived have become more than temporary employees. He has been involved in getting a good home, made sure one of them got his family here, and the former newcomers say he has become like their "dad" in Sweden.

- It has revolutionized their lives. They have got a fixed platform in Sweden, says Bo Fredriksson.

Because the three have received service certificates from the renovation job in Skara, they have been able to obtain good housing and are on their way into permanent jobs.
