No Man Is an Island background

No Man Is an Island

A compassionate doctor welcomes a young refugee named Omar into his home, offering a second chance at a new life after Omar's perilous journey on a stranded boat.

Many people are ready to house and welcome the less fortunate after large waves of migration in summer 2015. Doctor Bartolo took responsibility for Omar, an 18-year-old Tunisian who stranded on Lampedusa's coast, offering him a family, home, and job as an interpreter. Around the same time, Adam, a 16-year-old from Ghana, was taken in by a hotelkeeper, who gave him a job as the hotel's valet.
