This is a talk I had with Jackson Byiringiro who is a Guidance and Counselling Admin at Kepler Kigali. We talked about life in refugee camp, travelling with an African country's issued refugee travel document, education as an only way out for a refugee, calling world leaders and everyone in his/her capacity to support a refugee because no parliament or a body of people thinking about our future but only us (refugees)

NOTE: the context is for refugees in the Sub-saharan African countries.

This is the conversation with Yves Ndihokubwayo. A young Burundian living in Rwanda as a refugee who managed to escape the life in a refugee camp and still figuring out life.

NOTE: the last 10 minutes of this conversation was cut off due to technical issues recording the episode. Apologies for that.

In this episode I explore ways words and communication made ways for me and how the environment I was living in influenced me so much that I said that I have to leave to place ASAP. My goals were bigger than the circumstances, they were big to be realised living in a refugee.
