My name is Charles Ark Shika. I am sixteen years old. I come from Goma, in Democratic Republic of the Congo. I live in Nakivale Refugee settlement in Sudan village. I’m a student of storytelling and I hope, through my stories I can change the lives of some people. I also like to draw, dance and read.
