A mother carries a baby’s body that is full of bullets and bullet holes. A father falls from his car, vomiting blood as his family sits in pieces, dead in the car. In a blink of an eye, the children go from happy and carefree, knowing they have loving families at home, to wondering if they will ever see anyone they know alive again. I felt very sad and sickened, seeing those events through his eyes, and thinking of how many children in the world have lived through similar events. Eventually, hunger sets in and the boys steal food from people as they sleep and even wrestle corn away from a young child. It was painful think of the things people in other parts of the world are going through while I sit in my comfy chair; reading a book, and eating snacks.

This experienced refugee shows that he cares and wants to help this new refugee go through this rough patch. Words of advice are something that everyone likes to hear when in a tragedy. If helping words are just lying on the table, everyone would be rushing to the table to take those words of advice, without advice everyone would be lost in life, always struggling to get through their
