Chris Lau, a budding journalist, received his first exposure to a conflict zone when he went backpacking in Afghanistan. Little did he know that the experience was his calling to be a war journalist. Since that escapade, he has visited many more war and conflict zones in the region, to help tell the stories of the people there, to the world.
