Day 2 - Felipe

This morning we arrived at the port of Barcelona, where we were given breakfast. Later we went to a refuge where we will spend the day and sleep there.
In the refuge I met some friends with whom I spent the afternoon talking and playing with them, and tonight before going to sleep I finished reading the book that Maria gave me, which is very interesting. Now let's go to sleep, it's been a very tiring day and a very tiring journey. Goodbye!

DAY 3 - Gisela

2022-03-28 17:33:19 UTC

Today they got me up very early because we have to change places quickly. We got on a new boat where there were people of a very old age, one of them turned out to be the grandfather of my friend Juan, we joined him to take care of us and thanks that Juan was able to take my book and together we were reading the whole trip.

Day 4 - Juan Francisco

2022-03-29 22:12:34 UTC

This morning
After the boat trip of about five hours we managed to reach a safe place, but in this place the water was scarce so I had to go out to look for water for the elderly people who needed it most, like the grandfather of my friend Juan He was weary and tired from the long journey. At night, after setting up the tents with Juan's grandfather, we went to bed watching the stars and reading the book that Maria gave me

Day 5- Silvia

2022-03-30 18:14:05 UTC

Today I woke up very tired because the trip is getting long, I'm not used to going by boat and I hardly eat anything because I throw up everything.
This afternoon I finished the book that Maria gave me, I loved it, it made my day go by faster and I'm afraid the night will come because I only have nightmares about what my life was like before this, I hope tonight sleep better.
it's 10 p.m. I'm going to the next room because today I met some very nice girls who told me to go to chat tonight.
it's already 1 a.m. I go straight to sleep I had a great time and I hope to sleep better thinking that tomorrow we will finally reach our destination, after the long trip we will finally reach the island that will change our lives

Day 6- Carmen

2022-03-31 15:22:58 UTC

It was a day full of emotions in which I learned certains values of life ,which I have never given them importance , after this distraught situation. In the shelter , I have bumped into the most vulnerable cases , but no one was as emotional as the boy with the violin , who told me that he decided to leave the Ukrainian border with his real soul in his backpack: his grandfather's old violin. He showed me that the violin is a sad voice that must be perfected, so that the world can understand yours.When I asked him how he would continue on this way with difficult encumbrances , he answered me modestly that just as perfecting the sound of the violin requires perseverance, life is like this violin that you have to work at it, and continue to play it even when it goes out of tune.

Day 7- Ainhoa

2022-03-31 16:57:44 UTC

Today I woke up a little dizzy from the situation, it had been 7 days since I left my country, seven days in which I had not slept in my bed and in which I had not seen my friends. I start to worry because I don't know if my life will ever be the same again.
I have made friends during the trip and some people have been very empathetic with me, but I miss my life before leaving my country.
Today we got on a train and I still don't know where we're going, I fell asleep hoping to wake up more animated.

Day 8-Jose Maria

2022-03-31 16:58:11 UTC

When we woke up the Next day, we were in a new island. When we arrived it, we just start running and watching all places. This island were not very interesting because there were only plants and animals, but it's a very relaxed place and It has a coast really nice. During the day we continue looking and discovering new places of the island.
At the end of the day, we listened a man saying that tomorrow we will travel in a big boat to some new island.

Day 9-Assia

2022-03-31 18:48:17 UTC

I felt comfortable on this new island because it is relaxing and I have been able to disconnect a bit from my problems and my nightmares. The time has come to leave this island, because the man called us to go by boat to another island, when we got to that island we found other refugees who were nice, they told us about their lives and it was very sad, because they lost their father in the war. Night came and I couldn't sleep because I couldn't stop thinking about those refugees who lost their father because it is difficult to lose a loved one.

Day 10 -Óscar

2022-03-31 19:40:57 UTC

The next morning when I got up I asked him how it feels to lose his father, he replied that it is horrible, then moments began to come to me when my father told me to play with him or do something fun and I told him no to leave me alone. That will never get out of my head and I will remember it until the day I die.

Day 11-Cristóbal

2022-03-31 21:07:47 UTC

While we were eating our breakfast we sundely heared an enormous Explosion. It fortunatfly wasnt from the bad guys.... It seems that it was a controlated explosión. That afternoon I just saw a little girl with a blue-haired Doll, I speak she and she told me that she was 11, she was alone, and his fathers let her gone with her mothers pone number written on her arm. I felt so Bad, but i couldnt do nothing, i'm thinking all the day on that little girl and her future.

Day 12- Ana B

2022-03-31 21:23:34 UTC

Between the loss of my loved ones and seeing so many children without their parents, it is difficult to stand up every day and continue with a smile. Even so, I have begun to create friendships with other refugees so that both, they and I, can forget for a while about the terrible misfortune that is happening. Besides, I kept talking to the girl and I tryed to call the phone but nobody answered from the other side. The girl starts to cry until I take her with other children to play together. Meanwhile, it goes through my head that maybe that is the solution to not get completely depressed, knowing that we are still united.

Day 13 - Alba

2022-04-01 06:51:54 UTC

We are on day 13 and we cannot be more desolate. Everything is very complicated and I feel that the sky will fall at some point due to all those explosions that seem to burst the noblest of clouds. We are running out of water, a necessary resource for everyone here, so I decided to look for something on my own outside the shelter, bad idea, I saw a group of soldiers running a few meters from me with those creepy weapons that shoot to snatch the last sigh from someone who didn't ask for it. I ran as fast as I could, terrified, so much so that I didn't feel like the remains of debris were digging into all parts of my body. When I got back to the shelter I collapsed on the ground crying, for myself, for the situation and for everyone.

Day 14 Munir

2022-04-01 07:56:40 UTC

Today, I woke up wishing that this will end now, I can't go on like this, seeing people die with those terrible bombs is very desolate, I am very afraid that those soldiers will see me and kill me and the few people left. I will do everything possible to save my friend and those people who are trapped

Day 15 Diego

2022-04-01 08:12:35 UTC

Today is possibly the worst day of these months they have found our hiding place and they have recruited us for the front line of war I am very scared and I do not want anything except for this to end, I hope that my family, the little that is left, remains safe and sound and that we can continue surviving these hard days that we have left, they are torturing us, we hardly eat and most importantly we cannot be in contact with our families and be able to return to hug and kiss them

Day 16

2022-04-01 09:08:55 UTC

Adamary
While I was lost in thought, I heard someone calling my name. I looked to my right and saw an old classmate. I must say that I was very excited to see him and I wanted to hug him but they wouldn't let me. He smiled at me and I could see the reflection of fear on his face. However, that smile would be my last memory of him. I blinked, I heard a shot and when I opened my eyes again, I saw him bleeding on the ground. Was dead. Was it my turn now?

Día 17 : Othmane

2022-04-01 09:32:35 UTC

Today, after what happened, the first thing I did was run to a safe place, rest but I was terrified by the situation I saw of my dead friend. After that, I heard a loud sound and when I turned back to see what it was and was a bomb that fell near my city and there were many people fleeing with their children in their hands and above all there were many wounded.

Day 18:Pablo López

2022-04-01 15:09:13 UTC

Today, we were finally able to flee to another place, where there is no danger, all the people who travel are very scared after this situation. When suddenly, I could not believe it, I met childhood friends, we all started hugging like small children, after a long time I found happiness again.

Day 19: Laura

2022-04-01 15:50:18 UTC

The drama of escaping a war is not only there ... There are numerous psychological consequences that leave you marked, but not only in the elderly but also in children.
Today, day 19, is a day of stillness, of tranquility, of all the synonyms of calm, because finally, we fled to another place where there is no danger. Where hugs and kisses full of emotion and above all affection, between families and friends abound.
It seems like an eternity has passed since the missiles began to fall.
Dozens of refugees have once again made possible the emotional reunion between their families who, in some way, see their pain alleviated to see that their loved ones are safe and sound and away from the conflict.
Once again, calm returned to our lives without stopping to think about our previous life.

Day 20:Saadia

2022-04-01 17:37:15 UTC

After so much tiredness from so much travel and fear, we can now rest knowing that we are in a new place that is safe, that is why I woke up very calm. It is time to build a new life, we started by going out to see the school where I am going to study, along the way I saw many new places that I especially liked a bookstore, I was looking at it especially in a book, then the woman who was at the bookstore he came out with the book in his hand and he gave it to me. After we went to school and I saw many of my friends, I finally got home at night and started reading the book

Day 21 Kevin

2022-04-02 13:26:49 UTC

Today I woke up thinking about the people who suffer from a great crisis, I wish this would be over so we can live in peace without having worries, we have to be united and maintain our destiny without taking advantage of the weakest, reach a great conclusion for solve the problems they have among themselves, for people and for the whole world.

Day 22 Pablo b

2022-04-03 17:27:27 UTC

That is why I am going to do everything possible and everything in my power to put an end to this problem that affects society so much. That is why the first thing I am going to do is spread this message of peace followed by infallible solutions that will revolutionize the world and solve our concerns, we are together.

Day 23 Daniel

2022-04-04 20:37:09 UTC

Today I woke up and had some bread with water for breakfast, I don't know how much longer I'm going to have to suffer in these conditions, and what bothers me the most is the people who ignores us and don't want to see the people who are in these crises. I just hope that people become more aware of this, because a lot of help together can end this kind of problem.
