    A Family of Strangers
    Dandan, Wessam and Ibrahim from Daraa in Syria met in the refugee camp called Jungle in the fall of 2015 and moved in together shortly thereafter. Back then there were about 3500 refugees in the camp and new people arriving every day. In the north part of the Jungle they settled at an area for Syrians, mostly from Daraa. The first few months they tried to get on trains and trucks, but in the end they managed to collect money and chose to pay for smugglers. Even with smugglers they failed dozens of times. Since July 2016, all three are with their relatives in the UK and have applied for asylum. On the French side of the channel the number of refugees is growing. The organization Help Refugees who have volunteers in place counted the number to 9106 in August, more than 4,000 more than in February after the evacuation of the southern camp.The donated food is not enough for long to feed everyone and a concern about the camp's future is in the air. French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said in early September that the remaining half of the camp will be dismantled as quickly as possible with start in October. But daily life and escaped attempts are continuing as usual.

    Saudi Girls.
    Three girls stand in front of a Victoria's Secret boutique chatting and drink alcohol-free beer. Hanoof Adel, Jumanah Aziz and Amjad Alsihaibani are all in their early 20's and are located in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh. "We wear our niqab to protect ourselves against men," they say. The niqab is a cloth that covers the face as a part of sartorial hijab. "We do it for Islam, and actually it's no problem for us," one of the girls say. 
Saudi Arabia is known as the country where women have very few rights. As an example they are not allowed to drive a car and just recently they have been allowed to talk to other men without their husband's permission. Every person in Saudi Arabia has to follow the religious Sharia law where alcohol is forbidden and you can be sentenced to death for selling drugs.

    Untitled
    As rain pours down, Raylondo Chincillas paces in front of his family's trailer on the Navajo Nation Reservation. Many children and young adults do not see much of a future for themselves on the Reservation because of the high unemployment and the ongoing water crisis caused by decades of irresponsible uranium mining to supply the Cold War arms race.
