world:<br />

A society on the move.<br />

Tourists, migrants <strong>and</strong> pilgrims, people on the<br />

go of which some are more apparent than<br />

others. However, my particular interest here<br />

lies within the group of migrants who fall<br />

into the category of those who live without<br />

prosperity. These people are driven on in the<br />

hope of finding a better life in a prosperous<br />

country. Many make this long journey <strong>and</strong><br />

never really accomplish their goal.<br />
