So much hope encapsulated in that tiny visage….
Your words capture it, right there. Beautiful child. Hope.
Wow, makes me wonder how the made it from Nigeria to the Mediterranean. They probably walked for weeks. The crossed the Sahara north to the sea.
Quite a long journey (on foot) right? And across the Sahara. Unimaginable.
When will we build a world where we all help each other, instead of constructing environments from which people must flee or perish. I can’t wrap my head around it.
Yes…
Nor can I (wrap my mind around it)
The events surrounding us are breaking my heart
all hope.

What a beautiful little face. There is hope for him now that he’s made it to far.
I have to agree with Sawsan… how did they even get to the Mediterranean…
Agree Dale.
We can have no concept of what it must be like to have to flee.
And I have none. Agree Darlene.
