Issa is one of 100,000+ Syrian refugees in Istanbul, and plays his plastic flute to make $10 a day.
It's heartbreaking to see Istanbul officers confiscate Issa's plastic flute and to spend half his earnings to buy another one. But in that hard scrabble that is life for Syrian refugees, $10 probably isn't bad at all. I know that those who live on $1 a day or less belong to the ultra-poor of the world. Little Issa rises above that.
