On Sunday, Alan Kurdi's name was awarded to a German rescue ship operated by Sea-Eye, a non-profit organization that tries to rescue refugees in such dangerous situations.
"When I saw Alan's picture in September 2015, I had just left my daughter Nina's room, three months old," he said. "The photo of the dead boy brings me the happiest moment of my life and throws me directly and bluntly into the deepest chasm." She touched and touched me, but also destroyed something fundamental in me. "
Abdullah Kurdi, the boy's father, also spoke at the baptismal ceremony of the ship.
"This day is very difficult for me, because I feel many memories," he said. "But I want to support Sea-Eye, I'm grateful to the club for choosing the name of my boy, they are people who have a good heart in this organization, so my boy's name represents something good and his little soul can find peace. "
Sea-Eye said that Abdullah Kurdi was living in Erbil and had gone to Palma for the ship's baptism ceremony. His sister, Tima Kurdi, accompanied him and translated his words, said the group.
