Landscape narrative Protagonist: Nisho Nisho is a 27-year-old woman and a natural leader of her community. While she engages in political activism she is also a teacher to the small group of children living in the Square.

Narrative: The sun shines brightly above the small clearing amidst the evergreen trees. Peals of laughter and the pitter-patter of approaching footsteps interrupt my musing and I carefully place the documents back in my bag. As I turn back, I’m greeted by the sight of playful children, some of them shoving each other good-naturedly as they race to class. “Miss Nisho!�

I smile brightly at young Subhi, who greets me and takes his seat at the very front of the round platform. One by one the students gather together and seat themselves on the concrete slopes, chattering among themselves. My voice echoes within the space as I enunciate, the casual talking amid the students turning to patient and attentive listening. It is a new day, and the start of a new lesson.
