Equality

Yesterday we were lucky enough to be able to visit one of the Refugee sites in Catania. In this place, we gathered as a circle and heard people's stories and struggles they have faced in having to leave their home countries and come here. What I found truly interesting and humbling about this, is that not one of them complained or seemed unhappy. In fact, they all were extremely grateful for the life they are now living and were more than happy to share their stories with us. One that really touched me was talking about equality and how to him, everyone is equal and he will never judge anyone and is all about peace and finding inner happiness. It really made me smile hearing how much they embrace equality even though they are not the same race and religion. I enjoyed hearing how equal they all were to not only each other, but everyone they meet.
