The beginning of the three-day winter camp’s activities (youth and psychological stress), which are supported by the Hope and Optimism Foundation Britain, in order to develop young people’s abilities, mental health, and ability to cope with stress … They hide their suffering behind those childish laughs, and I feel pain when you smile without realizing that they are drawing all of this suffering from the veins of the mature and dreamy eye. A few moments ago, I was completely healthy, but now I feel something hot striking my heart. I haven’t forgotten this particular day, and I won’t ever forget it. When everyone began sharing their stories upon arriving at the training facility in Jaffna, I wanted to pluck everything from them like a dentist would pull out this human nerve known as feelings. They are the ones who create life and hope; they are everything in this wonderful life. Nasser tries to hold their hands warmly, teaches them to draw with a wooden feather so he can hear their true heartbeat, and makes them into aspirin pills to alleviate any future mental headaches.
