Immigrants: Footprints of Hope

By Ary S. Jr.

In a world where borders are drawn and differences often keep us apart, there is a powerful force that transcends all barriers: immigration. It's a journey that awakens a mix of intense emotions - hope, courage, fear and gratitude.
Immigrants, driven by a yearning for a better life, abandon everything they know, their roots deeply intertwined in familiar soil, to embark on a journey into the unknown. Their hearts are filled with dreams and aspirations, but also heavy with the uncertainty of what lies ahead.
