I WILL BE WITH YOU SOON DAD, SAYS SON

THE teenage refugee who met Lily Allen in the Calais camp spoke to his father on the phone after The Mail on Sunday tracked him down.

In the call, Shamsher Sherin, 13, told Hazrat Gul Sherin: ‘I’ll be with you soon.’

The boy showed The Mail on Sunday a family picture of his father shortly before he fled Afghanistan more than ten years ago with him and his sister, Robina, now 12.

The picture was then sent to Sherin by phone.

Shamsher said he wants to be reunited with his father and for the rest of his family in Afghanistan to join them later. ‘I would like to go to school and study,’ he added.

Speaking of his determination to cross the Channel, he said: ‘I have tried every day for one month to get on a lorry.’

The youngster has been sleeping in a tent in the camp for more than two months after his family paid traffickers to smuggle him to Europe from Afghanistan.
