Europe's Migrant Crisis

Written By

Sources: www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34131911 and Europe’s migration crisis: “Not giving us likeGermany,” by Soeren Kern.

                  Due to the civil war on Syria, poverty on Kosovo, violence on Afghanistan, and other issues on countries such as Iraq and Albania, masses of people are fleeing their homeland to seek a better place to live, though many die on the hazardous journey.
                  The U.N. country of Germany has its doors open to immigrants, giving free food and clothing, along with a monthly cash payment of $160. Many migrants arriving in Hungary do not stay and continue on to Germany.  Germany is the country receiving more immigrants, having 222,000 asylum applications.  The month of August of 2015 had the highest number of immigrants reaching more than 100,000.
                  Other U.N. countries are also giving aid to all the migrants. Spain gives six months of financial assistance, after which many go on to more generous countries such as Germany. There is a resettlement plan for those countries receiving too many immigrants, for now only those in Italy and Greece are to be moved to other U.N. countries. In Iceland, which receives 50 asylum seekers per year, twelve thousand families responded to the call of an activist by offering to open their homes to migrants. This is what the activist wrote:
“They are our future spouses, best friends… a drummer for our children’s band, the next colleague, Miss Iceland in 2022…the cook in the cafeteria, a fireman and television host. People of whom we’ll never be able to say in the future: ‘Your life is worth less than my life.’

                 
 I think all these people are a good example as they help other people in need. The Bible says to “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” (Luke 6:31).  The writer of the article did well to present what people said in favor of helping the immigrants and what they said against it.

Tormenta

Written By
Una tormenta En sí, refleja el poder de nuestro Señor. Relámpago ilumina la noche, Y los tambores empiezan en la distancia a sonar Poco a poco crece en intensidad El sonido, que al final,  Retumba en tu interior.  Y mueve los cimientos de la tierra misma. Una tormenta  Con lluvia que penetra la tierra Cumple su deber de regar  Las plantas que tanto esperaron bebida Con lluvia que baña a las criaturas Que alaban al Creador  Una tormeta  Feroz como el león  Que libera su rugido  Que penetra tu interior La tormenta

Microrrelato: Señor de los Girasoles

Written By
Todos los días veía a un señor parado en la esquina. Vendía girasoles. Llegaba temprano con sus zapatos cafés bien lustrados, pantalones ajustados con un cinturón de piel y camisa blanca bien planchada. Una sonrisa iluminaba su cara arrugada cada vez que alguien pasaba. Ofrecía sus flores a cualquiera: parejas, solteros y niños. Al final, cuando el sol se escondía detrás de la residencia de enfrente, él hacía descansar las cubetas en su carreta. Pero estaban llenas de flores. Flores cabizbajas, el mismo número que había traído en la mañana … todas, menos una. Ese girasol en la mano tiesa del señor ya tenía dueño, pues era un regalo. Lo seguí por las sombras. Sus pasos hicieron crujir el suelo por diez minutos de camino. Y al final, el girasol llegó a descansar en la piedra fría de una tumba. María del Sol. Y con su último suspiro, las últimas gotas de vida,  la flor levantó su rostro hacia el nombre. El señor siguió su camino para desaparecer en la oscuridad ...
