One Day at a Time

As I now reflect on this past first week in Munich Germany, I am filled with awe by the beauty in architecture, the friendlyness of the German people, and the audio senses stirred by European sounds of foreign language to mine, while first-responders fly through the streets along with the subway system. While the city alone has already captured a great deal of my attention and intrigue to maybe someday live out here for a while, I am torn by the reality that there is a very real geopolitical crisis in Munich concerning refugees and their integration.
After visiting three refugee camps this week (all to which compare in many different facets), it has become increasingly apparent that these human beings have faced incredible adversity, each living with an arduous journey to tell. Resources are limited and the process for a complete intigration case is overwhelmingly long and difficult. I can see the fatigue on the faces of some refugees and also the social workers, while both parties are under a great deal of pressure. As a write this message now, all I can think of is how I can do more to aid in the mission of these social workers and see to that these refugees are well taken care of while actively doing their best to intigrate and contribute to a new society.
