14The annual Chaos Communication Congress, held by Europe’s largest Hacker
15organization Chaos Computer Club (CCC), is this year presented with the
16theme „[Gated
17Communities](http://ccc.de/de/updates/2015/chaos-computer-club-ladt-ein-zum-32c3)“.
18We are proud to welcome Somalian born Fatuma Musa Afrah as our keynote
19speaker.

21As a child, Fatuma was displaced and found refuge in Kenia, where after
22studying developmental aid, she worked with kids in a refugee camp in
23Dadaab, located at the border between Kenia and Somalia. Her work’s main
24focus is on women and children.
25
26In 2014 she – again – was forced out of Kenia and found a new home in
27Germany, where, after living in the towns of Eisenhüttenstadt and
28Bestensee, she now works and lives in Berlin. She continues her
29humanitarian work and soon helped out as a voluntary English teacher in
30a school.

32In her keynote address, Fatuma Afrah will talk about her life, being
33displaced twice. Combined with her perspective as professional refugee
34aid worker, her story will allow an unique insight in refugee’s lives
35and struggles. She will talk about her confusion arriving in Germany and
36how to adapt to even the most basic concepts of taking a train and
37paying for it. But we will also hear stories about her first encounter
38with liberality.

40Fatuma speaks of herself as a „newcomer“ to our society. It is us who
41should offer our knowledge of everyday life and our help – not only as a
42community of hackers. It is our goal to enable integration, using our
43experiences, share our freedoms and to actively offer our support to
44„newcomers“ like Fatuma.
