Five refugee students from Elimisha Kakuma write about their experiences of displacement. Elimisha Kakuma is a program that provides access to higher education opportunities for high school graduates in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. The authors reflect on their past, present and future lives, and how displacement has affected their sense of individual and collective identities. The contributions to this collective piece were written by Agot Abraham Deng, Auxilio Onorio Mauris, Bon Reveil Isezerano, Mukunzi Eddy Fred, John Falestine John, with their instructor Dr. Katherine L. Hall who volunteer teaches academic writing and public speaking for students in the Elimisha Kakuma Cohort in Kenya.
