Where did you run from?
Bor.
Where do you plan to go?
Back to my country.
What do you wish you could have taken with you? And why do you still dream of it?
I wish I could have run away with the people who died in Bor – I watched them being shot. The crippled, children and women were shot mercilessly. It hurts me that I couldn’t do anything at that time. I don’t really care about material things like cows, money, clothes or food, because God can give me more. I am most concerned about my people’s lives and I wish I had taken those lives with me.
What is your favourite item now? And what makes this item very precious?
My job. This job is in line with my dreams of serving God’s people. Each day I feel fulfilled when I see children smiling and regaining confidence after the gunfire trauma they experienced when the fighting broke out.
