Migrant Odyssey
Real voices. True journeys. Humanity without borders
Migrant Odyssey tells the stories of people who’ve crossed borders and kept going — individuals whose intelligence, determination and generosity of spirit enrich any country or community they reach . These are stories of true worth — proof that migration is not a problem, but part of what makes us human.

Lebanon Lives: the first of a mini series featuring extraordinary, ordinary people in Lebanon - trying to live their lives while their towns, villages and cities are bombed around them.
As host Stephen Barden says, " These people are us." or as Joan Baez put it, in her song, "There but for fortune - go you or I".
Stephen's first guest in this series is Mona - half Ukrainian, half Palestinian, lover of extreme sports and in love with a profession she cannot pursue.
And here's the Instagram link to Mona's Extreme Sports team:

You know as well as I do that stories about migrants don’t attract big sponsors.
Governments are hostile, corporations stay cautious, and even NGOs hang on to their tightening budgets.
That's why we need your help. Migrant Odyssey exists — to make sure those voices are still heard.
If you’ve ever felt that empathy without action isn’t enough, this is one real way to make a difference. Even a small monthly contribution — one you’ll hardly notice — helps keep these voices alive.
