Hi internet, this is a longshot BUT I was a refugee for 5 yrs in the 90s and this man, who worked at a refugee camp near Zwolle in the Netherlands, out of the kindness of his own heart bought me a bike. My five year old heart exploded with joy. I just want to know his name. Help?

For those wondering here what five year old Mevan looked like. This was my fifth birthday in the refugee camp in Zwolle. She doesn't even know that an incredible bike is coming her way aaaany day now!
Huge thanks to the team at who helped me find out more about the camp and interviewed me about it all! Watch the video!

So four hours ago I was eating apple pie in Zwolle library, after hitting another dead end, wondering how I would find out more about the refugee camp and now I'm on the BBC sharing my life story. 🤷🏻♀️
