Some words of Celestine about the week

The one week I spent in Switzerland was the greatest period of my life, because I learnt a lot from the Amnesty youth.

So how they collect their signatures, unlike what we have in Nigeria, where you can just give something to people, this one they take time to explain things to you so you will judge whether you want to sign or not. Nobody just… they’re not signing grudgingly against their will.

And for the first time too I saw that there were still people in Europe, who love people in Africa. Those youth who come out to say ‘yes, we hate this system’, I mean! So there is hope for the future, for the world, for Africa. And I would love Amnesty to continue to do what they are doing, because I am going back now with a new strength, yeah! Amnesty may not have given me money, money is not everything, but they’re giving me strength. And I now know that I have people that are supporting me. (Celestine)
