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 graduate in education studies at York University. Today am still strong and holding on to my dream which is sure, and believe; I will attain my goal one day since I have already begun the journey of my success.
