Everyday life

Today I'm sharing a link to a photo series looking at everyday life in Dadaab refugee camp where approximately 440,000 people, mostly Somalis, live.  These photos, from Al Jazeera English, show how the most basic necessities of housing, transportation, commerce, recreation, and custom and culture are actualized in a refugee camp; how something is carved and created out of so much nothing.

Human beings have an indomitable spirit, but even the most unconquerable must struggle with this reality day-in and day-out.  Surely it is worth our best efforts and resources to help make Somalia a successful state to which these people can return. What would we see from them then?  And isn't that the best we can offer everyone on this planet, the possibility to create their best life.  

Our link today was researched by Nina Lawrin, and we thank her!  And thanks to you for reading!
