Meet Tendai Marima @i_amten “[My reporting trip has] not changed my perceptions as such, but I think this trip improved my understanding of the Great Lakes Region and the effects of conflict. Being on the ground definitely enriches one’s understanding of a scenario, seeing how things work in reality is very different from watching and analyzing a situation such as the South Sudan refugee crisis from thousands of miles away.”
