The Persian Princess in Cameroon: I still couldn’t believe that I have been to Africa, where I visited 10+ towns and communities for education and environment protection projects with different NGOs.
I still remember that during the first week I dared not to go outside alone and hoped that when I woke up I was at home, I remember how loudly those children learn to speak English in a dark room, remember that no matter how hard life is, they always chose to play music and dance and laugh.
When I look back, I realize that Africa has taught me the meaning of ” the world has kissed my soul with its pain, asking for its return in songs.”
