What is a Refugee? By Andrew Mayak, written in Kakuma refugee camp

"As refugees, we are victims of violence and war.

We left our motherland because we were being mistreated in many ways.

We ran to get protection in other countries, but as a refugee, you are always simple in front of anybody.

You are subject to prejudice and mistake always.

You can pass through any disaster and nobody will care about you.

Oh! What is lovely like our homeland? In your own country, you are free, free like a butterfly when it flies from flower to flower, free like a fish moving in the water.

Homeland is second heaven."
