You know I heard a little boy who now lives in Chad after having to flee from his home in Darfu say, “I do not get mad – when someone do bad things to me – I forgive them.” This touched me so much and this little boy taught me so much about life just by his quote. God says to forgive and love when someone does us harm.
My goodness how great is this little boys faith in God and in himself.
I saw him on Datline Wednesday night (May 23, 2007). I would except it as an honor to be able to meet and speak with this child and others like him. I also noticed that people in countries which are under seize…are deeply happy and content about who they are and who runs life itself… I need this.

In February 2005, Human Rights Watch sent researchers Dr. Annie Sparrow and Olivier Bercault to Chad to talk with refugees who’d fled from the bombings and Janjawid militia attacks in Darfur. A pediatrician, Dr. Sparrow usually gives crayons and paper to children to entertain them while she interviews their parents. When she gave crayons to children who’ve fled Darfur, the results were harrowing and powerful. [...]
