Rayzur,
You are doing an amazing job of making this very real for me. It's one thing to watch the news while sitting on the couch but with your photo series of Kobani Children and Women, and now this essay, I'm becoming very aware of what's at stake for Humanity. Thank you. It's personal now.
Markinsa, Thank you for sharing. I had not seen this before and enjoyed the expanded view of her story. You just never know what you can learn when you pop in on this site!
