“Are you okay? You look sick.” I hadn’t expected her to say anything, and I was taken off guard. “I couldn’t find any work today, or yesterday. I haven’t been able to eat.” “Here, take some bread.” I had felt so sorry for her, and here she was helping me. On my journey north, I saw so many people behaving worse than animals, motivated by such greed that they had no humanity. But then a person who was more vulnerable and exploited than I was reached out and shared what little she had. These are the moments that I try to remember, moments of our shared humanity.
