Abulogn

I am Abulogn, Ethiopian by nationality, born in the Abobo district of Gambella; I live in Dadaab refugee camp. Currently, I work for FilmAid Kenya as a refugee incentive team leader in Ifo camp, one of the three camps in Dadaab. I came to Kenya in 2004 due to political instability which led to the killing of Anyuak on 13th December 2003. I was in Gambella teacher training college when the incident started, I had to leave my studies behind and run for my life. I crossed to Kenya through lokichoggio border. I spent some days at the transit center while UNHCR was processing my travel to Dadaab refugee camp. My ambition was to join college but I could not make it. Despite all of this I could not lose hope, a hope to be a man of the people who will serve communities. After 12 years of college dream, now it is becoming true when I was given the opportunity to do an instep program, diploma in English and literature and finally doing a degree in educational studies with York University. Today am still strong and holding on to my dream which is sure, and believes; I will attain my goal one day.
