Page 21 - A girl migrant's letter
P. 21

I  was  so  terrified!  So  were  the  other

              young  migrants.  We  knew,  traffickers

              had  no  heart  for  anyone.  This  was

              business!



              The trafficker noticed we were all scared

              and  very  worried!  So,  he  said  with  a

             smile on his face, “Don’t worry! We are

              not  as  bad  as  the  other  traffickers.
              Besides, I know your friend who gave you



              my  contact.  If  you  cannot  pay,  we  can
              arrange for you to get in touch with your

              people anywhere! We will stay with you.

              Once we receive our money, we shall put

              you on a boat. And off you sail.”




              But no amount of words could cheer us
              up!
