EP. 25 LEBANON LIVES - Mona's Story.

Lebanon Lives: the first of a mini series   featuring extraordinary, ordinary people in Lebanon - trying to live their lives while their towns, villages and cities are bombed around them. As host Stephen Barden says, " These people are us." or as Joan Baez put it, in her song, "There but for fortune - go you or I". Stephen's first guest in this series is Mona - half Ukrainian, half Palestinian, lover of extreme sports and in love with a profession she cannot pursue.And here's the Instagram link to Mona's Extreme Sports team:https://www.instagram.com/wolves.teamm?igsh=NjMwZTRicjJieDR3Send us Fan MailSupport the show You know as well as I do that stories about migrants don’t attract big sponsors.Governments are hostile, corporations stay cautious, and even NGOs hang on to their tightening budgets.That's why we need your help.
