•Dear Robert

•I had a dream of war breaking out again

and us being fortunate enough to escape from it all.

•When I woke up I talked to mum.

•As much as I love my country, my fears are growing -fears of this fragile situation with poor and hungry people being mislead by leaders whose greed seems never to end.

•I don’t know if I want to continue to live here.

•This is not only fear but feeling a constant insult to my intelligence and to all the values I stand for and were taught to me by my mum.

•I can no longer distinguish false tears from real tears, nor understand solidarity and human generosity.

•Now I am going to eat spring onions and some bread my mum made,

•and then I’ll devote myself to my research about peacemaking…

•it’s very challenging but I’ll do it.
