@smyel78 Thank you! It is opened, committed hearts like yours in action that WILL make the difference that is so desperately needed!

Well done Nicholas and Lisa. You've spurred me to help. Ignoring this is the same as ignoring the Holocaust. I'm going to donate to Women to Women International today and do whatever else I can.

This made me cry. God bless people like Lisa.

Amazing.

This story reminds us that the actions of one person can seem like drops of rain that fall and disappear and have no impact at all.
And yet, they nourish that one small blade of grass.
And if others see it and are inspired and call on their government to act and use our great economic might for good . . .
those few drops can become a torrential downpour.
Observed or unobserved, the effort to help others is never wasted. And, perhaps, are never unobserved.

these militiamen are animals. :\

Lisa's story shows that individuals do make a diference, and that human suffering can and must be addressed by human beings: it is only through mutual help that our humanity shines like a precious gem.
