A journey of a refugee

I came across this book [Nujeen] when I tried to kill time during my lunch break in a bookstore.

Fleeing from wars is surprisingly a common scene nowadays.

This girl escaped from her shattered home on a wheel chair with underlying cerebral palsy which is unbelievable.

She is blessed to have a dedicated sister who took care of her throughout the journey and brothers who financially supported the whole family for the flee.

The emotion, the fear and the stories from the other refugees were the highlights.

It depicts how war can destroy its people, its country due to the fights which actually just between a few dictators who spent million of lives to "win" over the battle.

It depicts how the other countries' response on the refugee crisis.
The fence walls were built higher and higher.
More and more rules to prevent the gash of refugee coming in.
How did it boost up the economy for the smugglers.
What did the refugee pay for their safety.

Nujeen is a very bright girl who is confined on a wheel chair but not her mind. She learnt all the things, history, English, science, common senses from TV. She learnt about the world from TV until she departed on her refugee journey.

Refugee is not a number but a human being.
She was jailed in a prison and that's the time she realized how important freedom is.

Freedom that I enjoy today is not free.
Nothing comes in free. It pays to get it.
