The impact of Aylan Kurdi's death has not just reached the West, but is echoing even here where people are leaving from. This roadside mural is a reminder of the dangers that so many face, but feel the risk is worth it. My heart breaks as one friend tells me his sisters and mom are about to go and another friend is away from work at funeral after hearing two cousins died along the way. While we need to find solutions for those who leave, even more we need solutions for people to stay. The top factors: jobs and education and security How can we solve these problems? #aylankurdi #humanitywashedashore #iraq #syria #hopeformiles
