Alek speaking about Sudan, her home country…

“Don’t just show pictures of starving children. That’s not all there is. I saw people struggling to survive and making it. I saw families holding together. I saw kindness and beauty, not just bombing and death. I heard beautiful stories, but that’s not what the media shows us… It’s a beautiful country and it has an amazing culture and history. If you are going to tell a story, tell the whole story.”
