A Sudanese refugee himself, he helped volunteers with things like distribution, becoming an informal leader within the Sudanese community in the camp.</p><p>Whilst living in circumstances hardly fit for an animal, he was always positive, loving and wise… as well as being the best dressed person in the camp.</p><p>We recorded this episode late one evening after he’d cooked a big Sudanese feast for me and my sister in his new flat in Edinburgh. We cover some interesting&nbsp;and unexpected themes, from the concept of identity, to change, to patience, to age and more. I hope you enjoy his words of wisdom.</p><p><br></p><p>To support this podcast:<a href=\"https://www.justgiving.com/prism-worldwidetribe\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> </a><a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/theworldwidetribe\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.patreon.com/theworldwidetribe</a></p>","author_name":"Jaz O'Hara"}
