Voice by Kam Charles
Based on “ Ich und Du ” by Martin Bubur 
I became myself through the meeting with Kam Charles a refugee from South Sudan, who gave me his words and shoes, now when you take off yours then put Kam’s shoes, you will also become yourself through the meeting. All real living is meeting as Martin Burber states. 

Kam words
1. I was conceived, born, and raised in war.
2. I count not pursue my dreams or make a plan for my life because war took that privilege away from me and it dictates my tomorrows.
3. I could not play and laugh like a normal child because war silenced me.
4. My own home is war town hence inhabitable.
5. I cry all the times when I think about home, my mother, sisters, brothers, uncles in war
6. If people could be bought I would work for it, or 24/7 and share it with them or whoever needs it.
7. If you have peace, would you please share a portion with someone like myself
8. I want piece in South Sudan, can you share your peace with us
9. I want my friends to visit me at home at peace and be happy with me in peace at home
