- This has been called mountain of misery.
In some places it reaches over 10 meters tall and it's made out of life jackets.
It's a striking reminder.
A symbol of struggle, of separation, death, and disease.
It represents the millions of children, aunts, cousins, brothers, fathers, mothers, the millions of people that were forced to abandon everything in hopes of finding a better life.
This is a bracelet.
It's made of those same life jackets.
And it is also a symbol.
But this is symbol is one of hope, of accomplishment.
A symbol of opportunity.
