[nahommicael]

[photoroom1]

What a wonderful narration. I enjoyed every second of the story.

[tubebuktu]

Hannah. The second I saw that image of the house you where born in, tears started flowing from my eyes. Kind of unexpected. That is such a moving point in your tale. What a gift you have for telling stories. Even if the story itself IS fantastic. And what a magical place to have started life!

[henokaraya]

@tubebuktu So i was not the only one:-)

[hizbawite]

[frewayne]

[danywpg]

[Skin1920]

Great video--greats soul of woman

The people at TEDTALKS are idiots its ERITREA not Erithrea and its never was a civil war -it was a fight for Independence--and Eritrea is located in East Africa not the middle--smh

[MrSasula]

Hannah,

I am very touched by your story, it's very inspiring.You have now discovered yourself and also the great nation of Eritrea. I say great nation, because once upon a time, many abandoned & dismissed Eritrea and the unique struggle to free her from colonialists and illegal Ethiopian rulers. Now Eritrea is free, thanks to the likes of your sister, who gave their lives.

I wish you success in your future steps and please keep talking about the unique culture and perseverance of Eritreans.
