I struggled to hold back tears as I read the story. I felt an emotional connection and a passion to help, yet envisioning their lifestyle becomes a blur. Imagining their day to day life is unrealistic. We are rarely faced with death threatening challenges. We are all aware that food is essential to live, however, it doesn't seem to phase us that while we eat, others die from starvation. There is hardly anything in our life that is comparable to theirs. We are so fortunate to live in freedom.
I believe Knaan's story reveals his leadership role in this world. To go back to your original country without knowing what will happen, how people will react, or who to talk to has extreme ramifications. Unlike some celebrities, Knaan can and wants to loose sight of his fame. It is obvious that he has a strong passion for helping others and feels giving back to his country is necessary. Also, Knaan writes songs he feels strongly towards and stands up for what he believes in so he can teach others. Therefore, I consider Knaan an extraordinary hero.
