At many airports across America, individuals fleeing from war torn counties, arrive in this country without any resources, completely alone and terribly afraid. This piece shows a young African refugee, crying before social workers, speaking of his loss and terror. The creation of this work, stemmed from my desire to bring awareness to this heartbreaking issue, that is currently far too present in American societies. (Languages: Swahili and English).
