If you listen hard enough through your soul, you will understand the words that fail your ears.
I have no recollection of her face, where exactly I was going that day, or even the train station we were in, but our brief encounter in Paris more than 20 years ago taught me lessons of gratitude and understanding that I will never forget.

For Refugees, it’s the end of ‘The Jungle’ in Calais, France
As seen in iLiveWhereIam.com
In Calais, the term The Jungle is used to describe the chaos and instability of the migrant camp that affects some 7,000 migrant people who have fled their homelands and are running for their lives due to the life-threatening circumstances in their regions.
Originally built on a rubbish site, refugees set up camp with makeshift items, tents, and trailers to form some type of dwelling for themselves. Over time, they managed to open restaurants, shops, and even schools to build some kind of semblance of normalcy. They were even able to build a Mosque and Christian Church from items donated by local communities. These efforts are about to be destroyed by the French authorities.
