where the swifts go

Ayo loves to watch the swifts soar in the skies above the city he calls home. But where do they go when they leave the confines of his homeland?

Birds know no borders.

When war breaks out, Ayo and his friends are forced to seek asylum far from home. Their odyssey following the birds is long and treacherous. They cross many of the countries our members have called home. Making friends. Losing loved ones. Always telling stories.
