Michel Chikwanine's Childhood was filled with terror. When he was 5 years old Michel and his friends were taken by rebel soldiers. These soldiers drugged him and made him kill his own bestfriend. Michel was then brought to their camp. Michel luckily managed to escape into a jungle and survive for 3 days. Michel was able to make it home because of his knowledge of his surroundings and recognizing his location. His Motto is "We are silent for the 300 000 child soldiers, 250 000 000 child labourers" This means respect for those child soldiers and child labourers who are rejected their right to speak up for their rights.
