The first is the world in which a very small Sudanese child becomes Irish and learns to speak the Irish language so well that the nuns delighted in showing her skills off to any and all visitors to the school.
Then there is the world where a young woman reluctantly went back to war-battered Sudan to study and practise medicine - and where she rediscovered the preciousness of community. And, for that community, she founded an organization to promote and champion local Sudanese entrepreneurs - to the alarm of the security services.
It doesn't end there. There is a third world in which that young woman, comes back to Europe, gains a PhD in Public Health and Technology and now works on designing and developing digital tools in medical health and metabolism.
