Baruani’s actions
Inspired by what he had learned, Baruani became an active member of the camp’s children’s parliament: “By defending my rights I’m working on my future. And I tell all the children here that they must do the same. It’s the only way to get away from here. Empowermentis more important than food. Making your voice heard is a true necessity.”
Sisi Kwa Sisi
Baruani literally makes his voice heard, and those of other children too. He started a radio show, ‘Sisi Kwa Sisi’ (Children for Children), in which he and 20 child reporters address the problems, challenges and frustrations faced by children in refugee camps. Baruani listens to the children’s stories, and tells them about their rights. He teaches them to speak from their hearts and not to be afraid. It is been a huge success.
