Likiso Irene Lasu Silwa has very few memories of her early childhood. She was only a few months old when her mother ran away from their hometown with her and her sisters during the Second Sudanese Civil War（苏丹内战）. They had lived in a refugee camp（难民营）in neighbaring Uganda ever since.
Likiso finally returned in 2015 only to find that her hometown was already part of a new country South Sudan. Today, 31-year-old Likiso is a host on RadioMiraya. Miraya is the biggest network in South Sudan which has worked hard to push for peace in the area.
"Radio was the only source（来源） of information and happiness that kept my family going in the refugee camp. My mother would listen to the radio to keep up with what was happening back home. It is this experience that made me want lo become a radio host, " Likiso recalled.
Recently a sad story shocked her country. A child was killed and her body was found in a toilet. "If that is not difficult lo report, then I don't know what is, " Likiso said. Of course, there are also stories that give hope. For example, a young man decided to return home from the refugee camp he was living in to help homeless women. He built houses for them using unused water bottles. "At the time of my interview with him, he had already managed to take 10 women and their children off the streets, "Likiso added.
In South Sudan, the radio has been seen as an important tool for providing information for hard—to—reach communities. It not only provides chances for local women and young people to learn about and take part in community events but also brings hope to those living in instability（不安定）.
