Sophie and David have been hosting refugees in their Paris home for 7 years. Their new housemate is a 29-year old Zaker Ali from Afghanistan, who left his country of origin after Taliban came to power.

As he is training to become a certified chef in France, he shares his passion for cuisine with his host family. Our partners from @streetpress followed them for a day.
