1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:02.240
I work with victims
of Boko Haram,

2
00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:05.639
both Muslim and Christian,
sisters, brothers.

3
00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:08.160
Without forgiveness
we cannot move forward.

4
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:10.640
Yesterday is gone.
Today is the present.

5
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:12.839
Tomorrow is a mystery.

6
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:14.800
So it's very important for us

7
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.199
to hug each other
and forgive the past.

8
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:20.160
If we don't forgive the past
we will not move forward.

9
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.079
Here we are today
in this camp

10
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.640
living side by side
with a Muslim and Christian.

11
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.719
Our children play together.
We talk to each other.

12
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:33.920
We grow crops together.
Is part of the forgiveness.

13
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:37.240
If we have not forgiving each other
we wouldn't be here today.

14
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:42.560
When I come here I feel love.
I see the spirit of love.

15
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:45.759
The way you look at me
and I look at them the same way

16
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:48.520
and I see my Muslim brothers
and sisters here

17
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.840
living with the Christians.

18
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:53.560
I look left, I look right,
I see love all over the place.

19
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.759
That means,
forgiveness has walked here,

20
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:58.240
we have forgiven each other.
