"After many days I was away from my village and my house, I started to build this house as a kind of time spent forgetting what the canton is going through and the sound of guns that are still accompanying us so far. I was able to cultivate some hope and optimism inside me as I feel that it is a part of my house in the village and was the same feeling in the hearts of my family and my brothers. "
