Kyrgyzstan

“…at the beginning I still had doubts, I tried to fit in the system sometimes, but now it’s changed greatly. If the system does something that does not match my justice principles, I will go against the system. Earlier I kept silence in many situations. Now in most cases I argue, because I feel sceptical about the imposed rightness. I still feel I am in a community but at the same time I have this individual struggle, I am trying to find the balance, and maybe in the future I will devote more time to social work rather than being focused on myself. I may call it sustainable, but still balancing.”
