Who I am

Those who crippled me left my hearth with an empty felling hard to describe.l could never thought that i'll had strenght to stand in front of people and talk about this situation ,my disability...you have to be strong than yourslfe Jérôme,you have to be strong so May people says that after my nightmare...i meet a rébellians Soldiers arround 07 Pm while i was coming from my job,they were CNDP a rébellians group of Laurent N'kunda in Kiwanja Rutshuru,i show to them my identity card but one of them decide to broke my life and change m'y identity... Jérôme became Jérôme the handicapped.Since that days,developp hatred and anger against all people who speaks Kinyarwanda as CNDP Soldiers.People took me for a madman,a person without focus,am Always ungry and the money i earn ,i spend it on alcohol...am a drunker.people does''t know what i faced ,i can't no longer run sheltered if there is rain.,victime of mockery,discreditation ...my forge Hammer didn't consiste only of hamming Steel,but rather i imagine my self crushed theirs Bones.

Theater of thé Oppressed training and performances open UP m'y mind it's help us to deal with our trauma,our past .It IS give us hope and strenght.I Hope i had a broken identities but théâtre of thé Oppressed is a way to reminder what i expériences and share it with others especially those thought that disability a broken life or personalities.now am able to take Care of m'y family ,i can't drink a lot ,am working so hard...m'y life and m'y mind are changed...I know who I am.

I have thé right to participate in life,when i says life it's mean thé entirety,no more préjudices or anger against innocent people who haven't participate in m'y misfotune.
