ONE DOLLAR A DAYIn the Autumn of 2015 I went to the Bekaa Valley, near the Syrian border.
The war in Syrian had been raging for 4 years. Over 500 000 people had already died.
6 millions people were now refugees.
At the time I had no idea that this would become part of my own inexorable struggle, as my life slipped through my fingers… Was this a story about the sacred? The sacredness of human life?
Over there, the overwhelming noise of fighting, here only deafening silence.
