Threatened to be wiped out, my parents sought refugee in Uganda, where we found a safe haven in Nakivale refugee camp in 2014. Our hopes of returning to Congo have slowly drindled as armed conflicts continue to boil termitently over our region. I and my family could only survive on small handout provided by UNHCR since we could hardly find any employment. Life in the camp is very challenging
.
Although I am talented in music my status bars me and family from formal employment. Living Music foundation helped me to volunteer in the band where I trained for necessary skills, that assisted me to be placed in The Vessels Band as an assistant drummer and percussionist ultimately assuming a full band Drummer position.
I currently double as a band drummer and instructor at LMF , where I earn income to support myself as well as supporting my whole family back in the camp.
