...

Who do we meet?

We meet people, people like us.

People who, one day, returning from work, school, or walk, found ruins instead of their homes. And who have been making decision ever since, decisions which are life-saving or life-ending.  

Courageous. Frightened. Determined. Sad. Smiling. Injured. Tired. Persistent.

We met Mohammed, who has several nicknames, but his name is not Refugee.

Bahir, whose name is not Refugee. 

Abdul, Zaida, Dawud, Zubauda, now all called Refugees.

We met...

A person who had plans and dreams. A person who daydreamed. When to marry. How many children to have. How to name them. Who has never planned to marry! Who argued with her partner, so they decided that he would name the boy, and she the girl.

A person having breakfast. Or not. Has lunch. Dinner.  A person that sleeps. Or sleeps poorly.  Who wakes up. Laughs. Chooses a shirt to wear. Has a favourite football team. Does not like sports. Would like a new hairstyle. And who may have sung song in childhood in "English" making up words of her own, just like you. Or maybe started studying foreign languages at the age of two. Just like you or someone you know.

A person who is a believer, atheist, anarchist, philosopher, Yogi.

Who had a life; was a sister; a teacher; a student; a daughter; a best friend; a musician; the biggest fan of Rolling Stones; was collecting shells; and exchanged letters with her younger sister using made up sign language that only the two of them understood; had a grandmother whom he visited on Thursdays; a cat named Ra; who loved to watch quizzes; who only wore green shirts for an entire year; and created profile pictures on Facebook of downloaded Instagram’s mem.

We met people. In every and in no way different. People who, just like us, wonder what is right and wrong, how to educate their children, how to help a friend in need; people who are fighting for the future of their families and children. And who, at this moment, need our support.
