Foreward

" ' What I am is not important, whether I live or die -
it is the same for me, the same for you.

What we do is important. This is what I have learnt.
It is not what we are but what we do',

Says a child in exile, one of a family
Once happy in its size. Now there are four

Students of calamity, graduates of famine,
Those whom geography condemns to war..."
