A seven-year-old’s text message saved the lives of 15 people
When you’re a seven-year-old boy being transported in a container by human traffickers, it helps to have a cell phone. According to 50-year-old Liz Clegg, the story of the child’s life-saving text message arose from volunteer work Clegg did at the Calais Jungle camp, a camp in Calais, France that houses hundreds of migrants, reports the NY Post.
It was in that camp that Clegg distributed dozens of phones to children as a way for them to communicate with someone in the event they found themselves in a rough spot. And unfortunately, that’s what happened to Ahmed, a seven-year-old Afghan boy who, along with 14 other migrants, were being illegally transported to an unknown location.
