fter reading stories about migrants trying to seek better opportunities elsewhere even at the stake of losing their lives, I had almost given up on humanity.
However, seeing one of your photos ' on the front page of your newspaper yesterday ' of little children collecting water lilies from a lake, made me smile. That photo remains as a ray of hope among the dark and gloomy Facebook posts about human trafficking and dead Syrian refugees.
Hopefully, there will more good news from home and around world in the coming days.
Hopefully, in the coming days, all of us will able to ensure smiles on the faces of those in need and who are now dying at sea, trying to cross the border in search of a little refuge, safety and food.
