    Hamza, Beautiful work. A bit redundant in places, but powerful nonetheless. Keep up the good work in this important part of the world.

    It's impressive how you've given the boy 'a face'. He is just like all boys from this age only living in an almost impossible world. Strong how you give the story a positive turn without judging. It speaks.
