​

Do you have a plan b? this is a question you can ask yourself and I will guarantee you that you will say "no I don't" Many people do not have it and even less the ones that are forced to flee from their homes and countries.

"When I attended the plan b activity that Awesome People created it was life-changing for me to see that I can create a possibility from something bad to something good. That I can achieve very much in life if I just plan for it and take the time to do so. To go from despair and chaos to hope and feeling happy like they made me feel at Awesome People during the course made me think of a future." - Participant Plan B
