“I am standing here happy and honoured and thankful that I have been given an opportunity to share my story, and to share a story that is connected to so many human beings around the world who are facing so many hardships right now. But on the other hand I am a little sad because every time I turn on the news, I still see children being abducted as child soldiers; I still see kids dying in oceans around the world. But I am honored because this is an opportunity to raise their voice.”
