Summary

When Gervelie was born in 1995 in the Republic of Congo, her mother and father had a nice house in a suburb of Brazzaville. When fighting broke out two years later, her father's political connections put the family in grave danger and they were forced to flee. "Gervelie's Journey" follows the family from Congo to the Ivory Coast, and then to Ghana, across Europe, and finally to England. Told in Gervelie's own voice and using her own photographs, it depicts with grace and sensitivity their long journey, their life in a new country, and their hopes for the future.

Excerpts

This is the true story of Gervelie’s journey, told in her own words. It follows her from her home
in the Republic of Congo, to the Ivory Coast, Ghana, across Europe and on to England where she now lives with her dad, Gervais.

My name is Gervelie. I was born in 1995 in Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of Congo.
I lived with my mum and dad in the south part, in a nice house in the suburb of Moukondo. My  dad’s mum, my auntie and uncle and cousin lived nearby. Dad worked as a travel agent and Mum stayed at home.

I was two when the trouble started. My dad has told me what happened. I ask him all sorts of questions and he gives me answers when he can.
