"Kingsley's Crossing is the story of one man's willingness to abandon everything—his family, his country, and his friends—in the hopes of finding a better life abroad. Award-winning French photojournalist Olivier Jobard documents the passage."

I appreciate the write-up by the author. A lot of things have been understood from there. But the big questions still remains as to why there has been occasional movements out of this continent especially by youths.

The world is already sad to see all the things that are happening in our countries, the issue at hand is simply because those of us who have made in US do not go back home to help the other or even do anything productive with the money that we made here. Many of us, forget where we come from and we leave our families and friend behind to struggle that is why you will never hear of peace in africa, the strong ones leave the country and never go back. It is sad.

I need to contact Olivier Jobard but I can't find his email address on the web.
I am interested in some of his works.
Can you help me?
Thanks a lot and compliments for your blog.
