10. SOUNDBITE (English) Reem Habashieh, Syrian refugee:
"My worst fears, and it would be the nightmare, if our procedures will take more and more and more time because we are in Heidenau for a month now and we are just sitting there wasting time doing nothing. We didn't do any step of our asylum process and that is very bad. That is the worst fear right now."

"A friend of mine told me about Kiron University, which is a university created by people for refugees to study online, where you can apply there and when you are accepted you can have courses. You can download it to study it according to your own schedule, and according to your own internet connection, and for your own special circumstances. So it is very good. I applied for that right now to be in business studying."

STORYLINE
After two weeks in Berlin and a month in the town of Heidenau, the Habashieh family from Syria are still waiting to file their asylum applications.
Reem, 19, Raghad, 11, Mohammed, 17, and Yaman, 15, along with their mother, 44-year-old Khawla Kareem, fled Syria's civil war and arrived in Germany last month after a perilous journey from Damascus.
They are yet to be called up for any of the asylum procedures, not even the initial health check.
In the meantime, a volunteer from nearby Dresden has befriended the family, helping them with practical matters such as getting warm blankets, juice and aspirin. He has also bought them German-language books.
She rarely allows herself a weak moment, but she, too, is sinking under the strain.
