VOICED : Sardinias poor defy anti immigrant mood give all to refugees

The town of Carbonia in Sardinia, despite being one of Italy's poorest, showed remarkable solidarity by welcoming 90 migrants rescued from the Mediterranean. The community quickly gathered donations and volunteers to support the refugees. Stories of individuals like Rosalynn, who fled Boko Haram, and Lamb and Johnny, escaping Ebola in Sierra Leone, highlight the struggles faced by migrants. While Italy's northern regions resist accepting more migrants, Carbonia's residents, including former Alcoa factory workers, extend help despite their own economic hardships. The situation underscores the town's commitment to charity and solidarity.
