Separated by conflict, Central African cousins long to learn together again

Description

Cousins Prince-Bonheur and Gothier fled their home in the Central African Republic in 2013 to escape the civil war. While in exile in the two Congos, like most teenagers they had no school to go to. Since late 2016 peace has gradually started to return to parts of the country. Last year, with UNHCR’s help Gothier was repatriated and is finally back in school. But lack of funding means not everyone can come home. His cousin Prince remains exiled across the river, longing for the chance to learn.
