Pokun the Little Black King
'I am a refugee. Someone whose life in their homeland had become intolerable, someone who has given up everything. Family, everything they loved. Even their dreams. Someone who flees their country but who dreams of better days. After all that hardship, after all that oppression, after all that humiliation, I arrived here in Manus. The compassion of this family on this remote ailan was like treatment for wounds I had suffered over a long time.'
