It's not an easy life for those low skilled immigrants but one praiseworthy thing about them. They are willing to work really hard compared to the locals.

Yes. Unfortunately, they have no choice.

The accident of where one is born, or better said, the fact of it being out of our hands, is easy to overlook. No matter one’s starting point, taking steps to improve it is key. Don’t count on others, although welcome their help. Help yourself whenever possible. I enjoyed the story and the pictures!

James, many thanks :)

Being born in Pakistan doesn't seem to be a stroke of luck but you're right, nobody says you should be poor all life long.
