Day 8, 4 December, 2016
13 years old. She was born in a small village in the region of Lugansk where her family was growing tulips. During the summer of 2014 they fled the war and found refuge in Kiev. In 2015 she stayed with us for a month but after 2 weeks she was already translating for all the other children from English to Ukrainian as if she had done this her whole life. She loves speaking and “asking good questions” to everyone. One day, brother Alois invited the group for tea and Anzhela asked him her favorite question: “Everyone says that grown-ups are smarter than kids. Why is that? Kids forgive each other much faster than grown-ups. Grown-ups make wars.”
Last summer, the Ukrainian children and our Sudanese refugee friends met each other. After the evening we spent together, one of the Sudanese boys told us: “I think one day this girl will be the president of Ukraine. I am happy to have met her.”
