So another child asked me, because of the skin color 187 00:13:29,300 --> 00:13:38,870 because it was different from the whole school: if I become white during night! 188 00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:43,030 laughter 189 00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:47,270 And I said: "Come again!" Honestly! 190 00:13:47,270 --> 00:13:50,680 If something keeps my day going, laughs 191 00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:54,990 Whenever I remember this, whether I'm alone or whether I'm with somebody, 192 00:13:54,990 --> 00:13:59,820 I just laugh, because this explains about the world we live in. 193 00:13:59,820 --> 00:14:04,360 And the answer I gave the child was: "I'm black always." 194 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,280 high pitched: "Was?" And then they were concerned why here is 195 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,780 points at inner side of hand different from here. 196 00:14:09,780 --> 00:14:16,500 shows outer side of hand To go to the point this is apparent failure 197 00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:20,680 and this is the meaning of a Gated Community. As a parent 198 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,200 it's upon our responsibility to educate our childen 199 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:32,820 about what kind of world we live in. Educate them about EVERYTHING! 200 00:14:32,820 --> 00:14:34,790 *applause* 201 00:14:34,790 --> 00:14:41,030 Thank you! Thank you so much. 202 00:14:41,030 --> 00:14:45,100 I don't think these children will be so busy about all of THIS 203 00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:48,970 if the parent would have given them the proper education they needed 204 00:14:48,970 --> 00:14:52,550 by just showing them at least something about it like we exist 205 00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:57,280 in a world of diversed communities in terms of color, 206 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:03,070 in terms of eyes appearance in terms of height, in terms of everything. 207 00:15:03,070 --> 00:15:05,510 So I hope from there those children have learnt something 208 00:15:05,510 --> 00:15:08,200 – I never hold any grudge against innocent children – 209 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,880 They are so beautiful, so kind, they're just curious, you know? 210 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,970 When they're growing up they're so beautiful. I'm hoping to have five kids soon, 211 00:15:15,970 --> 00:15:20,600 and... Hopefully, too, they'll be beautiful. I want to have my own choir, 212 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,200 my own community in my own house. But I,... yeah! 213 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,210 We'll light for these 5 kids, hopefully, one day. 214 00:15:26,210 --> 00:15:30,279 And, that was the story about the children. 215 00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:35,050 And now in connection with "Gated Community" like I said previously - 216 00:15:35,050 --> 00:15:41,010 I don't wanna do a lot of repetition: Let us stand up for change! 217 00:15:41,010 --> 00:15:44,600 Let us stand up for information! Let us stand up 218 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:50,180 for connecting each other to reality! 219 00:15:50,180 --> 00:15:55,250 Let us inform each other what's there! 220 00:15:55,250 --> 00:16:00,310 Find a way to communicate! Find a way to open these gates! 221 00:16:00,310 --> 00:16:05,279 And how you open these gates everybody has the key in the own hand, 222 00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:08,990 in their own mind, however you describe it. It's a responsibility 223 00:16:08,990 --> 00:16:14,620 that it is within each and every individual within us. 224 00:16:14,620 --> 00:16:19,680 I remember educating my Mom - 'cause I grew up, 225 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:25,900 as you can see, the description from me, a religious family. 226 00:16:25,900 --> 00:16:29,180 And I'm not doing this because they forced me to 227 00:16:29,180 --> 00:16:31,600 but this is me what I wanted to. 228 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:37,870 Just to have a point of clear understanding about what I'm explaining. 229 00:16:37,870 --> 00:16:40,860 My Mom, I remember educating her everytime: 230 00:16:40,860 --> 00:16:45,279 "Mommy, ... !". Because I had a lot of friends when I was in the university 231 00:16:45,279 --> 00:16:48,740 who were Christians and I used to tell mama 232 00:16:48,740 --> 00:16:53,430 "We got to open our arms for everybody!" She was so kind and generous, definitely. 233 00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:57,400 But they're these kind of levels of helping each other that we need to. 234 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:02,420 And failure to do that: nobody else will. 235 00:17:02,420 --> 00:17:05,839 We have to respect each other, regardless of who we are. 236 00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:09,660 Personally, I don't care about stupid color, 237 00:17:09,660 --> 00:17:12,910 this plays no role in my world whatsoever. 238 00:17:12,910 --> 00:17:17,459 I don't care about THIS, this is an individual belief. 239 00:17:17,459 --> 00:17:24,180 That's up to YOU. I don't discriminate people against their social status. 240 00:17:24,180 --> 00:17:28,530 I believe in a world of respect. 241 00:17:28,530 --> 00:17:34,010 I believe in a world belonging to people with respect and peace. 242 00:17:34,010 --> 00:17:37,860 And that's all I go for. No more, no less! 243 00:17:37,860 --> 00:17:41,460 Just respect, passion, based on the heart That's what I go for. 244 00:17:41,460 --> 00:17:45,540 As long as you can respect me and we can understand each other 245 00:17:45,540 --> 00:17:49,880 what else do I look for, more? Absolutely nothing. 246 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:55,400 I just respect you, who you are. The good respect and connections we have, 247 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,760 and that's all I go for. The rest is bullshit. 248 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,070 *applause* 249 00:18:02,070 --> 00:18:13,510 They call it "Cheers!". This is my alcohol, I've never drunk alcohol... 250 00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:15,630 and will I ever! small fraction applauding 251 00:18:15,630 --> 00:18:18,290 surprisingly shouting: Aaah! Applause for my alcohol! 252 00:18:18,290 --> 00:18:21,710 Can we have applause for my alcohol drinking!? *laughs* 253 00:18:21,710 --> 00:18:23,230 This is funny! *laughs* 254 00:18:23,230 --> 00:18:32,200 And the other funny story I would like to share 255 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,650 – but this has nothing to do with Gated Community - 256 00:18:34,650 --> 00:18:41,410 is, you know, the developed world. 257 00:18:41,410 --> 00:18:45,220 It will have something to do with it in the Gated Community section, 258 00:18:45,220 --> 00:18:53,480 depending on how I explain it. 259 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,830 When I was new in Deutschland, 260 00:18:57,830 --> 00:19:00,660 where I come from there are no trains. 261 00:19:00,660 --> 00:19:05,410 I'm not used to trains, honestly. I'm used to planes! descending whistle 262 00:19:05,410 --> 00:19:08,520 They are easy, yes. But trains: NO! 263 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:14,090 So, laughs one of the drama thing that happened to me when I came to German' 264 00:19:14,090 --> 00:19:21,040 the first time I came by flight then the next I remember I went to Frankfurt the first time. 265 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,100 And then I asked. I was told: "Go to the train!" 266 00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:31,090 Now the problem was: chuckles I see this LONG train! chuckles again 267 00:19:31,090 --> 00:19:35,610 This has nothing to do with education. No matter, how you're educated. 268 00:19:35,610 --> 00:19:40,400 Some things don't need multi education but needs to be used to that. 269 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,860 So I remember going to the train. 270 00:19:44,860 --> 00:19:50,210 The first train left me because I didn't know how to open! 271 00:19:50,210 --> 00:19:53,710 And I was a newcomer – don't call us refugees, a point of correction. 272 00:19:53,710 --> 00:19:57,120 Call me by my name! If that's not enough, 273 00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:00,730 call me any other more beautiful name, choose! I don't restrict, I believe 274 00:20:00,730 --> 00:20:05,540 in a world of freedom. But as long as it's beautiful and not insulting 275 00:20:05,540 --> 00:20:08,600 then I give you the freedom. 276 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:15,170 So, the first train left me, so I had to stand there in this cold. 277 00:20:15,170 --> 00:20:18,559 Luckily enough I got the help from a woman that I even didn't know. 278 00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:23,270 But God knows what was going in my head. I thought like, because I had a bad information 279 00:20:23,270 --> 00:20:27,059 about Deutschland until I discovered slowly by slowly by myself 280 00:20:27,059 --> 00:20:35,050 that: don't listen to what others say, listen to your heart! 281 00:20:35,050 --> 00:20:37,570 I went with this woman, she saved me. 282 00:20:37,570 --> 00:20:40,110 We will come back to this bigger story later. 283 00:20:40,110 --> 00:20:43,840 raising voice again: So, what did I had to do to open the next 284 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:44,080 train 285 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,960 which will be coming in 40 minutes? I stood there trying to calculate, 286 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,510 and I didn't want to look ignorant, you know? This is the worst thing! 287 00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:54,990 You better ask than pretending to know something and you don't know! 288 00:20:54,990 --> 00:20:57,330 This is the worst thing a human being should ever do. 289 00:20:57,330 --> 00:21:01,910 So I stood there, I said: "Next time when the train comes...", 290 00:21:01,910 --> 00:21:06,170 because I was in the end and then I came in the middle, where there're some people, 291 00:21:06,170 --> 00:21:10,160 so that I stand next to the people. When they open I go in with them. 292 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:15,020 I look where they open, and then I stand behind them and then I get in there. 293 00:21:15,020 --> 00:21:20,230 Otherwise I'll end up in a ship, (?) left again by the second train. 294 00:21:20,230 --> 00:21:23,350 So educating yourself in a culture, 295 00:21:23,350 --> 00:21:26,250 in a very developed country that you don't know 296 00:21:26,250 --> 00:21:29,470 is a big risk and it's a big challenge. Anyway, 297 00:21:29,470 --> 00:21:33,920 the second train did not leave me because I folled the followers. 298 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,910 And she pressed, she got in another person – that was an old man – 299 00:21:36,910 --> 00:21:39,929 I was so kind to give him a way because I got to get in anyway. 300 00:21:39,929 --> 00:21:42,150 So I got in! I was safe! 301 00:21:42,150 --> 00:21:46,900 The next step: using the toilet. How the hell do I use the toilet? 302 00:21:46,900 --> 00:21:52,020 chuckles I wanna be honest, I don't wanna hide anything. 303 00:21:52,020 --> 00:21:55,650 I got in the toilet!

And this was so hard for me. 314 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,610 So, in connections that this what I wanna say is: Please give information 315 00:22:35,610 --> 00:22:40,330 to the newcomers when they're coming. Try to sacrifice a little bit of your time. 316 00:22:40,330 --> 00:22:44,140 It's similar to you guys when you come to Africa, we have these beautiful toilets, 317 00:22:44,140 --> 00:22:47,890 that inside whatever you put from behind inside, you will sit! 318 00:22:47,890 --> 00:22:52,450 So if you go to these big holes and sit there you will be shocked, as well! 319 00:22:52,450 --> 00:22:58,590 Like: "This might...

It's not a necessary thing. 329 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:51,620 So anyway, the developed world 330 00:23:51,620 --> 00:23:55,580 – I don't wanna point any specific country – 331 00:23:55,580 --> 00:23:59,690 not only the developed world, even the developing world, we have all these different 332 00:23:59,690 --> 00:24:04,710 kinds of gated communities. Whether it's in a profession, whether it's 333 00:24:04,710 --> 00:24:04,929 just 334 00:24:04,929 --> 00:24:11,160 a small settlement of communities. In all directions, these exist. 335 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:17,120 It's a fact which is there. And I always hoped for a perfect world 336 00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:21,559 which is never gonna be so soon or it's gonna be there at all. I don't think so. 337 00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:28,130 You'll always dream of this perfect world which there is no killing, no war, 338 00:24:28,130 --> 00:24:33,360 no disrespect, no racism or whatever. But this will be a long jouney! 339 00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:40,530 And the journey belongs to all of us. How we view it, how we wanna make a change, 340 00:24:40,530 --> 00:24:47,850 it's a decision that belongs collectively to all of us. I don't know how to do IT, 341 00:24:47,850 --> 00:24:53,440 but before the...

I don't know how it feels 391 00:28:29,049 --> 00:28:32,610 when my mom went through all this pain. 392 00:28:32,610 --> 00:28:37,020 When she took the five of us – one was inside. 393 00:28:37,020 --> 00:28:43,169 When she took us from the war country, bringing us to Kayner??? 394 00:28:43,169 --> 00:28:48,860 And the main reason was my father was killed, I wasn't lucky to see my father. 395 00:28:48,860 --> 00:28:54,130 And 'til that nobody knows who killed him and where his dead body is. 396 00:28:54,130 --> 00:28:58,360 Til now we don't know. But I just wanna say: "I love you, daddy". I don't know much about 397 00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:58,500 you, 398 00:28:58,500 --> 00:29:02,760 but I love you, whereever you are. And rest in peace! 399 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:09,630 When my mom came to Kenya, she always told me how hard it was, 400 00:29:09,630 --> 00:29:11,559 but I could not understand! Because I didn't go 401 00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:14,410 through the pain she went through. 402 00:29:14,410 --> 00:29:19,480 It's a different story when you have a feeling about a problem 403 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:24,340 and you're telling me the story. I don't have... we can have much connections here. 404 00:29:24,340 --> 00:29:28,580 Of course the connection will be there, but how you have felt and how you're feeling 405 00:29:28,580 --> 00:29:31,320 is never the way I'm gonna feel! It's just like 406 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:32,929 "Oh, sorry, you went through this, poor." 407 00:29:32,929 --> 00:29:41,290 "I'm sorry, it's so painful, it's so hard." It's just difficult. And this is how it is. 408 00:29:41,290 --> 00:29:46,750 So we grew up in Kenya, my mom did everything within her power 409 00:29:46,750 --> 00:29:52,419 to give us the best she could including education. 410 00:29:52,419 --> 00:29:57,290 And the culture I come from, cultural education is not a priority. 411 00:29:57,290 --> 00:30:03,010 But my mom was a complete woman that was standing 412 00:30:03,010 --> 00:30:09,820 for the true meaning of change. I had the same benefit 413 00:30:09,820 --> 00:30:13,679 and equal respect to my brothers and thanks to my lovely uncle 414 00:30:13,679 --> 00:30:16,860 who also paid my highschool fees and everything because mom could not raise 415 00:30:16,860 --> 00:30:21,000 all of us with all of this money because where I come from in Kenya 416 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,900 is not similar here where education is for free. You got to pay there highschool. 417 00:30:25,900 --> 00:30:30,429 The primary: yes, but highschool you got to pay. And the schools are not good quality. 418 00:30:30,429 --> 00:30:32,640 If you need a good quality school, you got to 419 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,900 pay for it. You have to make an earning 420 00:30:34,900 --> 00:30:42,260 to make this. To call your children very intelligent and then they have this good life. 421 00:30:42,260 --> 00:30:46,190 But luckily enough I'm here in front of you to at least make 422 00:30:46,190 --> 00:30:50,919 some languages that I can communicate with other people. I learned English 423 00:30:50,919 --> 00:30:56,230 and hopefully, next time, I will speak in Deutsch. No more English Drama, 424 00:30:56,230 --> 00:31:00,000 and I hope I will be confident in my Deutsch speech because I am not sure... 425 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,799 Deutsch is... I don't know. My Deutsch somewhat disappeared. 426 00:31:05,799 --> 00:31:11,419 But I belive one day – I never lose my hope – I will come here 427 00:31:11,419 --> 00:31:16,090 hopefully, one day. Not here necessarily but somewhere to speak in Deutsch. 428 00:31:16,090 --> 00:31:35,220 And all my speech will be fluent: "Pa, pa pa pa pa!" 429 00:31:35,220 --> 00:31:47,260 No audio 31:19 - 31:56 430 00:31:47,260 --> 00:32:00,280 ...and what happened? Polizei flies you into the jail 431 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,870 or you pay or give me your documents. 432 00:32:04,870 --> 00:32:08,720 And it's not a good easy life when you end in a different country. 433 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:13,070 You got to accept all the challenges that you go through. Stand for it, 434 00:32:13,070 --> 00:32:17,419 alit, move forward, find a way to help yourself and others. 435 00:32:17,419 --> 00:32:22,059 And then one day you got to be flying somewhere and be happy at least! 436 00:32:22,059 --> 00:32:24,110 Try to be happy. 437 00:32:24,110 --> 00:32:30,289 So my mom went through all of these problems 438 00:32:30,289 --> 00:32:33,830 and I went to school there, everything, and I worked in a place called Dadaab. 439 00:32:33,830 --> 00:32:42,360 Can you identify me from those photos? You can see somewhere... 440 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,710 I worked like I said before in introduction, with 441 00:32:45,710 --> 00:32:47,620 different humanitarian international organizations, 442 00:32:47,620 --> 00:32:53,169 one of it being "Save the children International", others being "Terre des hommes". 443 00:32:53,169 --> 00:32:58,049 I also worked in Somalia partial time because I wanted to see what it feels like 444 00:32:58,049 --> 00:33:02,110 to go back home and see my own country. 445 00:33:02,110 --> 00:33:05,809 But I don't believe in an own country things, I believe in a world of no border, 446 00:33:05,809 --> 00:33:12,140 get that one right. *applause* 447 00:33:12,140 --> 00:33:17,240 *applause* Thank you so much! 448 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:22,270 When I was working in Dadaab, did I ever knew I will be another newcomer 449 00:33:22,270 --> 00:33:27,020 for the second time. I used to feel the pain that people are going through. 450 00:33:27,020 --> 00:33:31,450 All the damages I could see that and when I was new working there 451 00:33:31,450 --> 00:33:35,380 I hardly had lunch because you have these big UN security staffs 452 00:33:35,380 --> 00:33:39,390 and lines and everything is there. But I could never comfort myself 453 00:33:39,390 --> 00:33:43,250 and eat properly because I could always see mothers 454 00:33:43,250 --> 00:33:46,809 who lost their children on the way. She had 6 children for example, 455 00:33:46,809 --> 00:33:51,150 2 or 3 died on the way. And she has to move on with her life. 456 00:33:51,150 --> 00:33:54,690 And that life was so hard, and I chose 457 00:33:54,690 --> 00:33:58,750 to work in the field of child protection. 458 00:33:58,750 --> 00:34:03,080 The way I say it some people don't understand louder, pronounced: CHILD PROTECTION. 459 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,740 Here, you don't know much about it because the government takes care of it. 460 00:34:06,740 --> 00:34:13,000 But this is one of the biggest refugee camps in the world, Dadaab refugee camp. 461 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,710 And I'm happy, I remember this memory and I kept it with me 462 00:34:16,710 --> 00:34:22,590 because I was not so much into making the children play with them or this, (?) 463 00:34:22,590 --> 00:34:26,940 but I was more of a case manager. But this was the universal Children's Day. 464 00:34:26,940 --> 00:34:31,340 And I was like I just wanted to make them happy and it happened I have this memory with 465 00:34:31,340 --> 00:34:31,989 me still. 466 00:34:31,989 --> 00:34:37,790 Can we give applause for these beautiful kids? *applause* 467 00:34:37,790 --> 00:34:39,739 *applause* 468 00:34:39,739 --> 00:34:45,570 computer "dong" sound 469 00:34:45,570 --> 00:34:50,500 I touched in between, sorry sorry, you told me this. You told me, don't touch. 470 00:34:50,500 --> 00:34:52,250 You know, I told them, the first time they gave 471 00:34:52,250 --> 00:34:53,899 me this: "You got to show me how to use this, 472 00:34:53,899 --> 00:34:57,590 are you stupid or something?" And he said: "No, just use it" 473 00:34:57,590 --> 00:35:01,300 and then the first time I did it he said: "You see? You said 'I know it', 474 00:35:01,300 --> 00:35:05,430 why did you do the mistake?" And this is how it goes back to the memory of exams 475 00:35:05,430 --> 00:35:09,840 you say this exam was so easy and then you fail. And the [credit] points you expected 476 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,190 is not there because we just take things so easy. 477 00:35:12,190 --> 00:35:14,660 So I will not take next time things for easy, 478 00:35:14,660 --> 00:35:19,170 I got to be careful. And this was still part of Dadaab... 479 00:35:19,170 --> 00:35:20,930 audience amused 480 00:35:20,930 --> 00:35:27,109 Damn! What's up? Your computer is virus! 481 00:35:27,109 --> 00:35:31,109 I have a beautiful laptop there. Get mine! 482 00:35:31,109 --> 00:35:34,190 Helper: What for? 483 00:35:34,190 --> 00:35:38,320 Fatuma: Okay. Gut! Thank you. 484 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,990 And these beautiful ladies there... we were doing a lot of different 485 00:35:41,990 --> 00:35:45,540 work with children. I was more in the case management and 486 00:35:45,540 --> 00:35:48,780 dealing with child abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence. 487 00:35:48,780 --> 00:35:52,720 There are a lot of children who are sexually abused 488 00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:56,840 and you got to stand there for them, take them through the process 489 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:01,270 because the parents are psychologically traumatized. They have no energy at 490 00:36:01,270 --> 00:36:07,619 all whatsoever. To do anything. And this is what's called girl child empowerment. 491 00:36:07,619 --> 00:36:15,280 I tried for my own level with my colleagues and everybody. To help the girls 492 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:21,040 speak out and say something. Because if their voice is not heard, 493 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,410 nobody will make them raise their full voice. (?) Because voice is power. 494 00:36:25,410 --> 00:36:29,700 Voice is the key change to everything. 495 00:36:29,700 --> 00:36:33,090 And these girls were always shy I remember them putting... hides face you see her hand 496 00:36:33,090 --> 00:36:34,300 was already there. 497 00:36:34,300 --> 00:36:39,980 They do this... my cloth is far... (?) They're so shy and they can't say much. 498 00:36:39,980 --> 00:36:45,710 And it's not their fault. It's what's called culture setup. 499 00:36:45,710 --> 00:36:48,960 This is how we were brought up. As a woman. 500 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:56,660 This how we behave. But I disagree. 501 00:36:56,660 --> 00:37:02,720 Everybody should be equal. Everybody should have equal freedom. 502 00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:07,590 Of speech, of saying whatever they feel like, letting it out. 503 00:37:07,590 --> 00:37:11,550 Respect it. Be part of their change process. 504 00:37:11,550 --> 00:37:18,800 Because these are expected to be the leaders of tomorrow, today. 505 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:23,340 But if we don't empower them if we don't support them 506 00:37:23,340 --> 00:37:25,060 they're not going to be anything. 507 00:37:25,060 --> 00:37:34,940 [In my case] It's hardly to see. From-the-culture-I-come-from-woman standing in front of 508 00:37:34,940 --> 00:37:39,349 the majority-dominance-men here. Hackers, hehe and women. 509 00:37:39,349 --> 00:37:42,090 And speak to them. It's something rare because 510 00:37:42,090 --> 00:37:47,050 this is not how we are brought up. You got to be shy, sitting somewhere. 511 00:37:47,050 --> 00:37:50,670 Not speaking here like notorious, this is not a good woman. 512 00:37:50,670 --> 00:37:55,490 Standing in front of men and talking you're not a good woman. This is what it is. 513 00:37:55,490 --> 00:38:04,260 But I say that good women should be standing in front of people and speaking up. 514 00:38:04,260 --> 00:38:09,609 *applause* 515 00:38:09,609 --> 00:38:13,590 Thank you so much. There're a lot of problems. That I saw. 516 00:38:13,590 --> 00:38:18,070 I want to give a comparison between what I saw in Dadaab and here. 517 00:38:18,070 --> 00:38:22,460 But sometimes it's hard to give the comparison because I was working there 518 00:38:22,460 --> 00:38:26,130 earning my own money and doing my own stuffs. But now here I am 519 00:38:26,130 --> 00:38:32,650 and opposite. Somebody has to work for me and help me. 520 00:38:32,650 --> 00:38:40,760 But generally some of the key problems that were there in Dadaab refugee camp: education. 521 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,800 Education was a key problem. 522 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:47,820 Girl child education was a key problem as well. There were highschools, 523 00:38:47,820 --> 00:38:51,720 there were over 40 international humanitarian organizations 524 00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:55,390 and some of them were responsible for education. But you know they 525 00:38:55,390 --> 00:38:58,820 can't do everything, they don't have support from the government. 526 00:38:58,820 --> 00:39:04,609 And there was a lot of... poor educational infrastructure. 527 00:39:04,609 --> 00:39:10,160 There was no clear support in erms of education. There were no class rooms. 528 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:14,599 There were not enough teachers. The resources was completely not enough. 529 00:39:14,599 --> 00:39:18,730 And these people there was restrictions of freedom. 530 00:39:18,730 --> 00:39:23,880 People could not cross the normal way to go to the cities or other part of Kenya. 531 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:28,349 They were restricted in that Dadaab zone. If you wanna go out of Dadaab 532 00:39:28,349 --> 00:39:32,290 you gotta ask for permission. Go to the UNHCR, 533 00:39:32,290 --> 00:39:36,940 ask for permission to go out and state why you wanna go there, 534 00:39:36,940 --> 00:39:40,470 outside of this camp. So it was not easy. 535 00:39:40,470 --> 00:39:43,950 It's similar to here some months ago, in our country here. 536 00:39:43,950 --> 00:39:48,950 We were not allowed to travel out of – like I come from the beautiful Brandenburg. 537 00:39:48,950 --> 00:39:54,190 You're not allowed to travel outside Brandenburg. 538 00:39:54,190 --> 00:39:57,869 But then so much to the leaders now they're making a change. 539 00:39:57,869 --> 00:40:02,520 And they're trying something at least. It's not perfect. But they're trying. 540 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,240 Can we give a round of applause to our leaders who're at least trying, 541 00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:12,099 I like to appeciate those who are even trying. Can we give applause, please? 542 00:40:12,099 --> 00:40:13,830 *applause* 543 00:40:13,830 --> 00:40:20,720 helper approaching speaker's desk 544 00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:25,010 Sorry, Linus! I'm so sorry. 545 00:40:25,010 --> 00:40:28,470 I think the mistake comes from here! Just to stand there... 546 00:40:28,470 --> 00:40:33,480 No, this is not the mistake. Okay, cool. 547 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:38,960 I know, in every country there are a lot of newcomers 548 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:43,060 and similar problems are there. But one good things I discovered from Dadaab 549 00:40:43,060 --> 00:40:46,930 is that the people are still within their culture. At least they are within a language 550 00:40:46,930 --> 00:40:50,859 they can understand. Basically things they're used to. 551 00:40:50,859 --> 00:40:54,280 But here you come – it's completely the opposite. So what leads 552 00:40:54,280 --> 00:41:03,210 to these big refugee camps? It's poor management of responsibility. 553 00:41:03,210 --> 00:41:06,900 If the developed world would support the developing world 554 00:41:06,900 --> 00:41:11,070 and the problems they went through I don't think we would have been in the direction 555 00:41:11,070 --> 00:41:18,690 we are right now. I just wanna go back a little bit to History. 556 00:41:18,690 --> 00:41:21,580 When colonisation was happening in this developing world 557 00:41:21,580 --> 00:41:28,990 no person was asked why they came to those countries. 558 00:41:28,990 --> 00:41:30,530 Nobody asked them [about their] permission to 559 00:41:30,530 --> 00:41:32,530 get in. They didn't ask anybody permissions 560 00:41:32,530 --> 00:41:38,200 to get in. Now my big question is: Now that we need the help of the developed world 561 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:43,650 why are we called "Illegals" – number one. Why are we called 562 00:41:43,650 --> 00:41:49,300 you need to come in with a permission. Why?? The permission on us 563 00:41:49,300 --> 00:41:54,680 and YOU never asked for permissions before! Ever! Why? 564 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:55,820 *applause* 565 00:41:55,820 --> 00:41:58,109 Thank you. 566 00:41:58,109 --> 00:42:08,800 These are the good examples of gated community. 567 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,720 Sorry. 568 00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:20,890 If leaders would forget about the past because what your parents or 569 00:42:20,890 --> 00:42:25,440 your leaders did in the past you don't have to do and repeat the same mistake. 570 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:32,250 You need to correct that mistake. And make a difference. 571 00:42:32,250 --> 00:42:36,380 *applause* 572 00:42:36,380 --> 00:42:42,910 We are not perfect in any way. And I always call politics is a dirty game. 573 00:42:42,910 --> 00:42:47,670 But I want to send a message to all the politicians and leaders in the world. 574 00:42:47,670 --> 00:42:53,800 Please... stand... for human rights 575 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:58,770 and respect it! Don't put your political interest first, 576 00:42:58,770 --> 00:43:07,730 put the human life first! Then the rest becomes number two! 577 00:43:07,730 --> 00:43:12,720 *applause* 578 00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:16,550 Thank you. 579 00:43:16,550 --> 00:43:19,820 I love this woman called Claudia Roth. I had a panel discussions 580 00:43:19,820 --> 00:43:23,690 once with her in re:publica. And I loved her approach. 581 00:43:23,690 --> 00:43:30,099 She's at least a very mentoring woman. She's a role model to me. 582 00:43:30,099 --> 00:43:33,349 And I remember her telling me one time, I said thanks to the German government, 583 00:43:33,349 --> 00:43:38,869 "at least they're trying to do something". And she told me: "No no no no no no no no!" 584 00:43:38,869 --> 00:43:41,609 And I was like: "What?" – "Don't say 'Thank you'! What for? Haa?" 585 00:43:41,609 --> 00:43:45,240 And I was like: "Yeah, at least they did something! At least they give us a shelter, 586 00:43:45,240 --> 00:43:48,660 somewhere to sleep, something to eat!" For me, I would grate that. When if everything's 587 00:43:48,660 --> 00:43:54,359 not perfect, I will say to that little thing "thank you". And something very imoportant. 588 00:43:54,359 --> 00:43:59,160 But thanks to Claudia Roth and her team, they're really trying to do a beautiful job. 589 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:00,869 And the rest of the leaders whatever they are, 590 00:44:00,869 --> 00:44:04,700 not only them, everyone who's doing nice job. 591 00:44:04,700 --> 00:44:09,800 So that was the life in Dadaab. It's very tough and hard. 592 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:16,050 I came to German'. And I was in Eisenhuttenstadt first time. 593 00:44:16,050 --> 00:44:21,500 And life is so hard and horrible. 594 00:44:21,500 --> 00:44:25,800 I can tell you here all of this in words. But believe me, 595 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:30,830 you can never understand unless you're in that situation yourself. 596 00:44:30,830 --> 00:44:35,260 You can not understand. The rest is just a story. 597 00:44:35,260 --> 00:44:39,430 You will just say: "OK, oh sorry it's a painful pro... oh sorry, yeah, 598 00:44:39,430 --> 00:44:43,640 I understand." – No, you're lying, you're not understanding. Be in that condition 599 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,970 and then you got to tell me what it is. 600 00:44:45,970 --> 00:44:53,260 There's a lot of health problems. The people are overcrowded, 601 00:44:53,260 --> 00:44:58,330 There're a lot of outbreak of diseases at different times. 602 00:44:58,330 --> 00:45:02,920 And people are congested in containers and in other 603 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:08,869 not-deserving human shelter areas. I understand them on one side 604 00:45:08,869 --> 00:45:11,270 but on one side I refuse to understand them. 605 00:45:11,270 --> 00:45:16,089 I mean this is a very well developed countries. Not only I don't point fingers 606 00:45:16,089 --> 00:45:16,650 only, 607 00:45:16,650 --> 00:45:20,080 because I wanna avoid pointing fingers on specific countries because this problem 608 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:24,339 is a global concerned problem. Gated communities everywhere in the world 609 00:45:24,339 --> 00:45:28,470 and it's not only here in German', it's everywhere! 610 00:45:28,470 --> 00:45:32,460 So this message I'm sending is going to everywhere. 611 00:45:32,460 --> 00:45:36,420 And I remember, in Eisenhüttenstadt, 612 00:45:36,420 --> 00:45:42,530 you're put in 5..10 people... 20 people – not 20, I don't wanna lie – 613 00:45:42,530 --> 00:45:46,770 but at least 10 people could be in one room. 614 00:45:46,770 --> 00:45:49,700 And you can't say anything about ist. You're from different country. We don't 615 00:45:49,700 --> 00:45:53,190 understand each other culture-wise, language- wise, everything. But you still are forced 616 00:45:53,190 --> 00:45:57,349 to live together. There is no freedom of education like I wanted, 617 00:45:57,349 --> 00:45:59,990 to further my education. There is nothing like 618 00:45:59,990 --> 00:46:02,440 that. The bureaucratic is another story. 619 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:07,980 Leave it aside. But so complicated that you can't be who you wanna be! 620 00:46:07,980 --> 00:46:11,900 And my question was all the time: When this difficult condition where you're not allowed 621 00:46:11,900 --> 00:46:13,790 to work, you're not allowed to go to school, you're not allowed to function like a 622 00:46:13,790 --> 00:46:19,320 normal human being! You're not even allowed to go out and visit Berlin, 623 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,520 the first time you are... I asked myself is this a perfect Welcome 624 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:29,859 in German'? Keep in isolated, damage, and not giving us 625 00:46:29,859 --> 00:46:33,220 the freedom to move out and see people. Everybody is like this: 626 00:46:33,220 --> 00:46:36,150 tired, sad: "You go to the office, you ask..." Not everybody! Some people. 627 00:46:36,150 --> 00:46:39,910 I remember the first time I visited there, I went to a woman and I said: 628 00:46:39,910 --> 00:46:45,200 "Is this true? Is this where I am? Is this really true? Is this happening to me?" 629 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,660 I was like: "In a moment I don't know where the hell I was!" 630 00:46:48,660 --> 00:46:52,430 I thought my life was over! – No, it wasn't over, 631 00:46:52,430 --> 00:46:56,369 it was the beginning. 632 00:46:56,369 --> 00:47:00,230 And I asked her – Thank you – and I asked her 633 00:47:00,230 --> 00:47:04,500 "What's going on? Can I go out?" And she said: "Was??" – "Do you speak English?" 634 00:47:04,500 --> 00:47:05,000 – 635 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:08,060 "Was?? Deutsch, bitte!" And I was like: "I can't speak Deutsch!" - 636 00:47:08,060 --> 00:47:13,130 "Was?? Raus, bitte, nächst'..." – "Can I please have a permission 637 00:47:13,130 --> 00:47:16,490 to go out at least see the city or something, because I'm not having 638 00:47:16,490 --> 00:47:20,320 a contact with my family, no relation whatsoever, I'm really dying 639 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:24,349 of trauma here!" – "Was?? Raus, bitte! Nächst', nächst' bitte! Nächst'!" 640 00:47:24,349 --> 00:47:29,570 You have no choice! You have no voice! You got to leave! 641 00:47:29,570 --> 00:47:37,869 That was some of the difficult moments I remember. 642 00:47:37,869 --> 00:47:42,369 But there were also nice people in the same Eisenhüttenstadt. Working as a social worker. 643 00:47:42,369 --> 00:47:46,820 Very kind generous and very supporting. 644 00:47:46,820 --> 00:47:50,990 But all of a sudden life wasn't easy basically. I remember there was 645 00:47:50,990 --> 00:47:54,599 this small internet area I don't think it's their fault that's the only space 646 00:47:54,599 --> 00:47:59,280 they were given. Refugee inspection (?) where you can just go and google something. 647 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,829 And I would like to ask everybody in the audience to give them a big 'pplause 648 00:48:02,829 --> 00:48:08,040 because they're doing a beautiful job there. 649 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,700 *applause* 650 00:48:11,700 --> 00:48:20,700 Thanks. So the life in Eisenhüttenstadt was completely a very... 651 00:48:20,700 --> 00:48:28,130 problem with slides projection 652 00:48:28,130 --> 00:48:33,700 helper approaching again 653 00:48:33,700 --> 00:48:39,670 Yes, so out of my transfer in Brandenburg, 654 00:48:39,670 --> 00:48:44,079 still in Brandenburg I went to... Life wasn't easy and blabla... 655 00:48:44,079 --> 00:48:47,859 everybody knows how hard it is and not everybody can understand this. 656 00:48:47,859 --> 00:48:51,550 I went transfered after 2 months or 3 months of... When you are new in German' 657 00:48:51,550 --> 00:48:55,890 you're transfered to another refugee camp. Then I was in Bestensee. 658 00:48:55,890 --> 00:48:58,369 And I was asking myself: Back home I was somebody, 659 00:48:58,369 --> 00:49:03,630 I had my own dog, I had my own little money, I had my own life beautiful. 660 00:49:03,630 --> 00:49:08,480 Here you come you're nothing! I wanted to find a way I could help myself 661 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:13,540 get out of this terrible situation. Put myself at least somehow at distance (?) out of it, 662 00:49:13,540 --> 00:49:17,650 then help others get out of it. And then I asked the manager 663 00:49:17,650 --> 00:49:22,550 how I can help the community and I was an English assistant teacher in this area. 664 00:49:22,550 --> 00:49:26,670 The beautiful teachers were very supportive, many of them could not speak English. 665 00:49:26,670 --> 00:49:30,760 But the beautiful heart was there. So kind, so generous. Very supporting 666 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:35,839 and loving! I could not ask more. They were so kind and nice. 667 00:49:35,839 --> 00:49:39,240 Can we give them a big round of applause, to my beautiful teachers!? 668 00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:45,089 *applause* If you don't mind! 669 00:49:45,089 --> 00:49:49,599 And I encountered a lot of problems while I was working in the school because 670 00:49:49,599 --> 00:49:52,040 if you work there they said the socials said (?) 671 00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:53,000 the school wanted to pay me 672 00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,880 but the socials said "No, we can't." And the socials said, 673 00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,560 I can only work 1 hour 1 Euro. 674 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,329 A whole hour you are paid 1 Euro, Schilling... 675 00:50:03,329 --> 00:50:08,190 Do you understand the meaning of 1 Euro!? Can somebody give me 1 Euro? 676 00:50:08,190 --> 00:50:12,510 Each one of you give me 1 Euro. And then we see how much it is. 677 00:50:12,510 --> 00:50:14,930 Smiling amused 678 00:50:14,930 --> 00:50:18,760 So this was... But they made it a difference and they said: "We wanna have you 679 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:20,740 and do everything possible within our power to 680 00:50:20,740 --> 00:50:23,150 support you. Because you are supporting us." 681 00:50:23,150 --> 00:50:26,760 Because, I wanted to do something useful with my life because in the refugee camps 682 00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:30,740 all that we do is either drink, fight... It's not our choice. 683 00:50:30,740 --> 00:50:35,450 That's where we are put in. We're so much isolated and outside of the community. 684 00:50:35,450 --> 00:50:39,750 The community is completely gated. And then we are put in a very complete 685 00:50:39,750 --> 00:50:44,130 isolation situation. We need to stand up together and make a difference 686 00:50:44,130 --> 00:50:48,480 by breaking these gated community. Each and every individual of us, we have to. 687 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:55,000 And find a way to. *applause* 688 00:50:55,000 --> 00:51:01,270 Thank you, Vielen Dank! 689 00:51:01,270 --> 00:51:04,400 And then, well I was in Bestensee. This place is called Bestensee, 690 00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:08,400 some of you might come from here I don't know. I was also part of a... 691 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:15,960 a sport club because I love sports. And I remember them giving me... 692 00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:20,140 Nee... Nooo! 693 00:51:20,140 --> 00:51:26,099 I'm sometimes Clown so that's why sometimes I behave like this. chuckles 694 00:51:26,099 --> 00:51:30,410 This was a beautiful picture from their T-Shirt and the sports club, 695 00:51:30,410 --> 00:51:34,320 they bought me. And... "you are nobody you have nobody but somebody's there for you 696 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:40,410 loving you supporting you and doing everything for you." I was so lucky. 697 00:51:40,410 --> 00:51:43,320 And I wanted to do something for the community. And I was like: 698 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:47,400 "What can I do to help people?" And the children I used to love wherever they're 699 00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,329 in the world. And these are some of the things... 10 minutes left sign – Thank you – 700 00:51:50,329 --> 00:51:53,960 ...these are some of the things I was trying to do just to escape from stress. 701 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,940 I didn't wanna drink, I didn't wanna do bad things. I just wanted progress with my life. 702 00:51:57,940 --> 00:52:00,740 And these are some of the things I tried to do. 703 00:52:00,740 --> 00:52:05,660 chuckles on next slide 704 00:52:05,660 --> 00:52:09,310 So please let us get used to the name newcomers, 705 00:52:09,310 --> 00:52:14,369 not refugees. And these were my beautiful communities I was doing twice 706 00:52:14,369 --> 00:52:17,589 in the whole of German'. And if you want to invite me in some of the cities 707 00:52:17,589 --> 00:52:22,770 I have never seen, do that and give me one bread and 708 00:52:22,770 --> 00:52:26,369 I was... I'm basically an international speaker and I have been going to different places 709 00:52:26,369 --> 00:52:30,380 talking to the people and trying to give them some hope together with the support 710 00:52:30,380 --> 00:52:33,880 as there are a lot of nice people in Deutschland, for example. I can talk about German', 711 00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,119 not elsewhere. There are a lot of nice people who wanna do something but they don't know 712 00:52:37,119 --> 00:52:38,550 how. 713 00:52:38,550 --> 00:52:40,160 So I don't like to generalize. And for those of 714 00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,349 us who are defined as racists I don't belive 715 00:52:43,349 --> 00:52:45,570 in the word racism. I think it's about lack of 716 00:52:45,570 --> 00:52:47,670 information. When people understand 717 00:52:47,670 --> 00:52:51,630 who we are where we come from and what problems we went through 718 00:52:51,630 --> 00:52:55,940 I think they will be kind, nice and generous. To understand us and support us. 719 00:52:55,940 --> 00:52:59,440 So if we continued that those people who discriminate us and that then 720 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,440 we discriminate them I don't think we are going anywhere. The best way... 721 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,839 If a killer kills and then you kill this is not the best way to move forward. 722 00:53:07,839 --> 00:53:12,020 It's about trying to figure out how best can we try to make both sides together 723 00:53:12,020 --> 00:53:16,400 and I'm doing a project called, a program called "United Action". And the idea behind 724 00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:16,490 is 725 00:53:16,490 --> 00:53:20,510 visiting refugee camps, creating events, bringing the community 726 00:53:20,510 --> 00:53:25,530 and the newcomers together because I don't wanna only say: "Support us, 727 00:53:25,530 --> 00:53:29,930 newcomers, newcomers." There are people in the community who are vulnerable, 728 00:53:29,930 --> 00:53:33,820 who are poor and they need help. And that's the reason why they don't want us. 729 00:53:33,820 --> 00:53:35,970 They feel jealous and it's their right. I mean 730 00:53:35,970 --> 00:53:38,210 they're human beings, they're not perfect. 731 00:53:38,210 --> 00:53:42,140 So we got to find a way to fit both sides together, to come together. 732 00:53:42,140 --> 00:53:46,640 And support each other. And that's my idea behind "United Action". I believe 733 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:50,589 when we all of us come together, do things together, eat together, 734 00:53:50,589 --> 00:53:59,960 the rest of the bridge will just slowly fall down, like the "Berliner" Wall. 735 00:53:59,960 --> 00:54:02,790 *applause* 736 00:54:02,790 --> 00:54:04,800 Thank you! *applause* 737 00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:10,240 This one of the photos when I was in Neuhardenberg. And these are 738 00:54:10,240 --> 00:54:14,220 part of the friends that were helping me going there taking food and drinks 739 00:54:14,220 --> 00:54:18,339 and stuffs and just having a good time with the people. And trying to figure out 740 00:54:18,339 --> 00:54:22,720 what we could do together. I have a Facebook page called... I don't want this 741 00:54:22,720 --> 00:54:26,079 keynote speech to be my own advertising thing, 742 00:54:26,079 --> 00:54:29,050 but I just wanna give you more information about myself so that you know 743 00:54:29,050 --> 00:54:33,950 who you're talking to and if you need more questions or you have 744 00:54:33,950 --> 00:54:39,089 anything to tell me you better meet me outside later with 1 Euro. 745 00:54:39,089 --> 00:54:40,680 audience chuckling 746 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:47,030 Joking, don't give me any Cent! 747 00:54:47,030 --> 00:54:51,260 And these are still some of the events and I love being happy. I mean 748 00:54:51,260 --> 00:54:55,310 happiness is my family. And hope is my family. Without losing hope 749 00:54:55,310 --> 00:55:00,700 and happiness we can be somewhere. 750 00:55:00,700 --> 00:55:04,030 And this was still Neuhardenberg with the team and we were doing a wonderful 751 00:55:04,030 --> 00:55:10,520 amazing thing. This was a group I've been supporting and they won some awards. 752 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:16,359 And this is my beautiful visit to the beautiful German parliament 753 00:55:16,359 --> 00:55:20,550 with my Coca Cola. 754 00:55:20,550 --> 00:55:25,849 Please! Stand for Change! Please 755 00:55:25,849 --> 00:55:31,349 call us our names or any other beautiful name or our personal names! 756 00:55:31,349 --> 00:55:35,700 And we got to find a way to figure out how best we can call each other. 757 00:55:35,700 --> 00:55:39,040 We don't have to call ourselves Refugees anymore. Because this word 758 00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:43,200 has been used in the wrong way. We are meant to be very vulnerable. 759 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,819 We are meant to be nothing! We are somebody just like anyone of you! 760 00:55:46,819 --> 00:55:50,319 We only lost our home and family. We are human beings 761 00:55:50,319 --> 00:55:54,430 just like anyone of you! We can do something. Don't look at the word! 762 00:55:54,430 --> 00:55:58,020 Look at us as a human being. As a person, as somebody in a capable position 763 00:55:58,020 --> 00:56:12,250 to do something. Don't you believe we are human beings? Then get rid of this name! 764 00:56:12,250 --> 00:56:14,730 *applause* 765 00:56:14,730 --> 00:56:19,109 Thank you! Situations should never define us. 766 00:56:19,109 --> 00:56:23,800 What should define us is the name "human being". 767 00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:27,390 And the respect we label to each other. 768 00:56:27,390 --> 00:56:33,750 And I would like to send a message to the world: These Gated Community issues 769 00:56:33,750 --> 00:56:37,980 is a global issue. Please let us try to promote 770 00:56:37,980 --> 00:56:43,730 Peace, Love, Unity. Break the isolation. Come together! 771 00:56:43,730 --> 00:56:48,400 Support each other! Love each other! Love each other! Love each other 772 00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:52,819 and love each other again! And be there whatever possible. 773 00:56:52,819 --> 00:56:57,089 I can't say more words than this, I just wanna say: 774 00:56:57,089 --> 00:57:00,589 Thank you so much to everyone of you. And I want you to go home... 775 00:57:00,589 --> 00:57:04,349 Not you, you are the wrong audience, I think. You know what's you doing already. 776 00:57:04,349 --> 00:57:08,530 Thank you so much to that! But for those of us who don't know what Gated Community 777 00:57:08,530 --> 00:57:14,220 means and how we can break the silence: take the responsibility, 778 00:57:14,220 --> 00:57:20,140 go out, do a lot of awareness campaign and find a way to kill and delete 779 00:57:20,140 --> 00:57:25,720 this gate. Let us open the gate with open arms for everybody 780 00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:31,240 regardless of who you are. Let us stand with one name as human beings. 781 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:36,640 Don't believe in the name of a nationality. Don't believe in the name of stupid colors, 782 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:41,369 always respect the human dignity. "Don't lose hope in the name of humanity!" 783 00:57:41,369 --> 00:57:45,670 This was a word Linus [Neumann] told me several times and I loved it and that's why 784 00:57:45,670 --> 00:57:48,780 I wanna say it right now with you all.
