ESL Blogs

Hello, everyone. 

Today I read news on my Facebook page and I found an interesting report. 

Due to the present situation in Syria and other countries we got a prejudice about people from that region. Today I don't want to discuss it. I want to translate this report from my native to you and show you another side of this complicated situation. 

As usual, generals keep safe during the war, but only simple soldiers and people suffer. This is what happened with this man. His name is Abdul and he escaped from Syria with his family to Lebanon. He doesn't have a wife and he has 2 kids. For the last 4 years Abdul couldn't find any job due to the fact that he is a refugee. 

Abdul tries to sell pens on the streets in order to have a piece of bread for his kids. 

One blogger from Norway saw this situation and took a photo and posted it in social networks. 

The photographer didn't expected such a reaction from people. He asked people to collect money for this guy and his family (at least 5 000$) but more than 127 000$ were collected. 

Abdul decided to open a cafe, a restaurant and some other things in Lebanon where more than 16 Syrian people could find a job and save their families from hunger and poverty. 

I decided to publish this blog because the first photo deeply touched me. The face of a guy who can't find bread and home for his 2 kids while we are sitting here in warm houses, with a sandwich and complaining about currency exchanges or bad neighbors. Gosh, sometimes humanity is too ego-centrated and this is cause of many problems on this planet. 

If we paid more attention on people around us, we would see that some people feel and live even worse than you. 

Compassion is the only way to save humanity from global war. I also read today a great quote: "How to stop terrorism and war? Don't take part in it and don't support it". Simple and genius. 

Better help those who suffered and lost everything in these useless wars. I'm happy that this world has a great hope in the face of such people as this guy from Norway and from all over the world. 

Cheers, cap bee

P.s. by the way, the main money was sent from the UK, the USA, the UAE and Saudi Arabia!
