Hello, everyone. 

Today I read news on my Facebook page and I found an interesting report. 

Due to the present situation in Syria and other countries we got a prejudice about people from that region. Today I don't want to discuss it. I want to translate this report from my native to you and show you another side of this complicated situation. 

As usual, generals keep safe during the war, but only simple soldiers and people suffer. This is what happened with this man. His name is Abdul and he escaped from Syria with his family to Lebanon. He doesn't have a wife and he has 2 kids. For the last 4 years Abdul couldn't find any job due to the fact that he is a refugee. 

Abdul tries to sell pens on the streets in order to have a piece of bread for his kids. 

One blogger from Norway saw this situation and took a photo and posted it in social networks. 

The photographer didn't expected such a reaction from people. He asked people to collect money for this guy and his family (at least 5 000$) but more than 127 000$ were collected. 

Abdul decided to open a cafe, a restaurant and some other things in Lebanon where more than 16 Syrian people could find a job and save their families from hunger and poverty. 

I decided to publish this blog because the first photo deeply touched me. The face of a guy who can't find bread and home for his 2 kids while we are sitting here in warm houses, with a sandwich and complaining about currency exchanges or bad neighbors. Gosh, sometimes humanity is too ego-centrated and this is cause of many problems on this planet. 

If we paid more attention on people around us, we would see that some people feel and live even worse than you. 

Compassion is the only way to save humanity from global war. I also read today a great quote: "How to stop terrorism and war? Don't take part in it and don't support it". Simple and genius. 

Better help those who suffered and lost everything in these useless wars. I'm happy that this world has a great hope in the face of such people as this guy from Norway and from all over the world. 

Cheers, cap bee

P.s. by the way, the main money was sent from the UK, the USA, the UAE and Saudi Arabia!

  • This article indicates that there is still hope for the humanity.

  • kirubasankar, thanks for your feedback

  • Grace, thanks a lot :)

  • An idiot is who thinks that reality can be hiden. Iranian government is playing such tricks for their ppl and trying to play same tricks with the world to hide the truth of their atrocities... But thank God, the world is not ignorant like Iranian ppl who believe their government... World's governments can tell their ppl whatever they want, yes... but still smart ppl can understand what the reality is and what the trick is.. ppl can recognise invader's face and the casualty's face also... look at the photos and they will tell you all stories that u wish to know.. ask their ppl what happened to them over there.. And try to think for a moment about who is the atrocious invader and who is the casualty... some ppl can never do anything else but raise the hatred against others.. against the owner of the site.. against the listeners.. and even against themselves... poor them.. I wish they could wash out this hatred one day to allow their hearts seeing the truth...
  • Dear Honey, I don't claim that I know the solution for this problem but I believe that establishing some organizations like so many that we have and have a good plan in order to give hand to theses people could help them a lot. Like the one this woman did.

  • setareh , so what to do?

  • Dear Honey, to be honest I won't. Besides being frightened in my culture it's so uncommon to invite a strange person over. What's good even if i do that would be for a day or two how about the other days?

  •  setareh, if you see one homeless on your way home, will you invite him to your house?

  • Dear Honey, your story indicates how people are still willing to help and we can really eradicate hunger and poverty. A few days ago it was snowing in my city and the weather was chilly. One couldn't stay outside for even ten minutes, the warm house was such a delight and all of sudden I thought what homeless people are doing these days. It must be so hard. I hope war stops and those stupid politians let people live. Thanks for your nice post.
  • There is a good important idea also about how to stop terrorism and war, especially in my dear country Syria.
    It is vital important to stop the sectarian agitation and the hatred-provoking propaganda that is obviously supported by Iran and its allies in the region.
    Syria has suffered lots because of their propaganda that has nothing to do in my dear country..
