I would like to thank them for permission to reuse it. I would like to thank the Lancet and Elsevier for permission to reuse material that appeared in Borderlands, published in July 2017. I am also grateful to the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard University for publishing some of these diaries on their website. Thank you to the Rights and Opportunities Foundation for continuously supporting my work in the migrant crises in Europe and Central America. Many other people have helped me in numerous ways.

      I would also like to thank the many friends who wish their names to be anonymous, particularly the individuals, children and their families who chose to share their stories. I continue to learn and to be inspired by their courage and grace under pressure. More children’s stories, pictures, and film can be found on the website: migrantchildstorytelling.org. I should emphasize that these are personal diaries, and any mistakes or inaccuracies in the relating of events are my own.

      Thanks to Brendan Cahill, at Refuge Press, for his enthusiasm for this book and Johanna Lawton for scrupulous editing and Mauro Sarri for design.

      Finally, special thanks to my husband Asmamaw, my companion in so many of these journeys and a constant support in my work.
