how do i tell their stories?
i was assigned a piece about the invisible children organization last week, an organization that i am very passionate about. they are working to free the children being abducted and forced into becoming child soldiers or slaves. they also showed the world the story of night commuters: children who walk at night to avoid being abducted. its horrific. its unthinkable. and as i read their stories, i wept. it truly not even something i can fathom...children being kidnapped OUT OF THEIR BEDS. children who have aids. children who have no future. and invisible children is GIVING THEM A FUTURE.
so how do i tell their stories?
how do i look at their pictures and not cry?
and how do i go back to my privileged life?
i want so badly to be moved out of apathy.
because i dont know how to tell their stories.
how do i sum up horror?
and terror?
and Hope?
