I did not say anything. It is enough for me that people would be able to listen and hear this story one day. I only know that to change a person or even a community is not as simple as throwing  dice. They are the ones who have to find their own path. To get to that path, they need information and enough knowledge to make a sound decision. As knowledge is the light, even if it is only as bright as the lights of the fireflies, it will still be meaningful to those whose lives are covered by the dark.

 

* bang — brother

** iwak peyek — a type of cracker
