**THE REFUGEE**

The boundary wall that the refugee finally comes to face at the end of their long and arduous journey will not stop the refugee. They will learn by pure survival instinct and an unrelenting persistence how to overcome that wall, sometimes having to pay the price with their life.

The highest wall they will find the most difficult to overcome over time is the emotional wall. This is the wall that grows inside every refugee. This wall runs very deep with the tentacles of its foundations stretching all the way back to where the obliterated bones of their war-torn past lie buried in the rubble of what was once their beloved family members and what they once called home.
