  The dangerous trip to Europe that has claimed over 60,000 people on the Mediterranean sea still does not scared a lot of people who seek to escape from poverty and conflicts in Africa and the Middle East by heading for Europe. The migrants are feared to have drowned when their rickety boat sank off Libya's coast. The Survivors told UN and aid agencies more than 120 people were on the boat when it started taking in water on Wednesday. A number of people including women and children  drowned in the chaos that followed. Nearly 90 migrants were rescued and later arrived in Italy.

Motivational Monday: Live your dreams

Good evening my JAB peeps, its that day of the week where I share some inspiring words to keep our head high even through the turbulent waters. Today we would be talking about Living our dreams and the prime obstacle to that is FEAR. You can either live your dreams or live your fear. I think that many people are not living their dreams.
