A West African Country

I told him I was a Christian, that I could not follow him into secret society.

So the man started flogging me. See the scars? All over my body!

The people of Europe, they that think that we just came here to look for money. No!

I said, “God, OK, if today is my last day, let it be.”

" I want to leave something for my children and grandchildren. The Italians give me a place to sleep and food, but I need help finding a job..."

I wanted to stay in Africa, but I wanted my life to be secure, so I came to Europe.

My family looks to me to support them.

I said, “God, I left my country because I don’t want to die and now people are dying in the desert.”
