I did not know the word “shelter”; I just wanted to get out of this hellish situation with my children. I was not scared about the future anymore. Since the first day I moved to AWS my world has turned from darkness, paranoia, and fear into a better life. No longer do my children and I have to cry. Now the three of us have only smiles, music, and laughter. We have learned more about human rights, law, communal living, and language. We have a second chance in life.
