In Italy I talked to a student from Sudan. Crazy things are going on in the Darfur region. Famine rape and murder. A different culture and a different country. We know so little about the way other people live and die.
I just finished reading "Life is not all ha ha hee hee" which tells about the lifes of three Indian women living in modern Britian. Culture and tradition still influence their lives. Chila who enters an arranged marriage to please her parents. Sunita who rebels agaist her Indian culture and tradition and marries the man whom she loves, only to find later that she has thown her life away, and Tania who is a career woman and has no time for husbands or children.
Chila is married to a very rich man who betrays her. Her mother has this to say to her. "To love in the times of harvest is easy... to love in the times of famine is true love." Life it seems is all about sacrifice. Laying down your life for others.
When you look at some of the pictures from the Sudan. Starving children who are all skin and bone, they are all being cradled in the arms of their mothers. No matter how wretched their lives are, some spark of human kindness still exists, and has not been extinguished.

Sure, you only see pictures of the starving babies in their mother's arms... that's because the ones who don't have their mothers around to squeeze out maybe 2mls of breastmilk per day are dead.

This is so sad America needs to help these people it makes no since for children to have to suffer like that especially the little babies who cant help themselves
I just wished the world would come together and help. People think that Africa is not their problem but as long as there is a human rac
e out there it is. Their President needs to be executed just like he has helped in so many deaths by not giving a toss. I will only donate to causes when i know its going to get there with aid workers because i was watching a documentary about some ugly greedy people selling the food that was meant to be free to starving families. Where are peoples compassion? I am 21 years old and every year I arrange and send 300 gift parcels at christmas through my daughters school. I couldnt do it without the support of people who care. Why cant the governments stop taxing these gifts and money that is sent? Greed is the reason why this tragedy is happening!
