Children Of War

This is something that is very close to my heart. Who is there to defend these children of war?

You.

Do something. Volunteer. Contribute.

These children are the adults of tomorrow and if we want to change our world, we have to start by helping them.

Also, I highly recommend the documentary The Invisible Children

Don't wait for our supposed leaders to do something significant. They have obviously shown us how little they care.

We learn from history that we learn nothing from history. - George Bernard Shaw

Thank-you for the nice comment. I became aware of all the horrible things going on while working on a project in school about child soldiers. It completely changed the direction I was headed in academically, and now my dream is to help in any way I can. I think it's really awesome that you went to Maili Tatu!

Maya...thank-you for this reality check!

I often get lost in my self-absorbed life and

it's so easy to close my eyes when I think I am powerless...though my heart may be in pieces.

What do we do with the rage that consumes us when our eyes are forced to see reality?

Well done on the video. Everyone should see it. I don't see how anyone can look at the pics of those children and continue to do such damage. It's devastating to see thier innocent lives destroyed, but it happens every day. It shouldn't be tolerated.
