Description :
He says he is lucky to be alive, and that his physical wounds have healed well, but it was his memories and fears which he struggled with the longest. After receiving treatment at Goma's CBCA N'Dosho's hospital, through ICRC's help, he was then transferred to the mental health centre. Today he says he feels better emotionally, and looks forward to returning home with his family soon, though he worries about the situation there and how his family will survive.
