ONE love, blood, life
The other day at school, a few kids told me about this. Its these kids in Africa called 'Night Commuters.' Every night they travel to a safe spot because they are afraid to sleep at home. Along the way, other kids who had been abducted try to take other kids into the army as well. Here's a more detailed explanation:
"Everyday in Uganda, innocent children are being abducted and taken into the forest. There, they learn how to kill; they are tortured, beaten, and raped. This is all going on secretly as a plan to overthrow the government. Many children go into hiding with nothing but one pair of clothes. They leave home in hopes to find a better life, but all they find is death and misery around them. Children are starved, and those who are taken by the rebels suffer severe injuries such as knife wounds and gun shots. Many young girls are giving early birth because they are being raped by the rebels. This is all going on, and the Uganda government is not doing anything to stop it. Children are being abused, so it is up to children (and adults) to do something to make Uganda, and the children of Uganda, a better safer place to live. Together, we can stop the war in Uganda."
There are a few websites you can go to help. A good one is www.invisiblechildren.com. You can watch a short trailer of the 55 minute movie there. I was inspired after I watched the movie. I'm sure it will inspire many of you too. There is some violence in it, and its quite sad at parts, but it truly is a movie I encourage you to watch. It may be on youtube, someone told me, but I couldn't find it.
Spread the awareness please! Pray for the children in Africa that everything will eventually get settled and they can once again live in peace. ray:
Thank you!
