"After leaving Congo because of the war, I was welcomed here by the people of Uganda and by the UNHCR. Now I have my own house here in the regugee settlement, and I want to be able to welcome people too, with as much heart as I was welcomed when I arrived. I'd like you to paint the word "Karibu" ("Welcome" in Swahili)." - Chantal 24 years old
I must say that she did a very good job in making me feel at home! She's so helpful, joyful and cooks great food! It was a pleasure to end this episode with her family, and the word really sums up my experience with refugees in Uganda. .
