Who can sleep. It’s a GO. Brava! Bravo! To Niamh Clune and to all those enthusiastic supporters. Lots of Love. Jennifer

I’m here for other children.
I’m here because I care.
I’m here because children everywhere are suffering and because forty thousand people die each day from hunger.
I’m here because those people are mostly children.
We have got to understand that the poor are all around us and we are ignoring them.
We have got to understand that these deaths are preventable.
We have got to understand that people in third world countries think and care and smile and cry just like us.
We have got to understand that they dream our dreams and we dream theirs.
We have got to understand that they are us. We are them.
My dream is to stop hunger by the year 2000.
My dream is to give the poor a chance.
My dream is to save the 40,000 people who die each day.
My dream can and will come true if we all look into the future and see the light that shines there.
If we ignore hunger, that light will go out.
If we all Help and Work together, it will grow and burn free with the potential of tomorrow.” ~Rachel Corrie~
I love this quote from Rachel Corrie! And thank you for re-blogging.
You are Welcome. I thought Rachel’s quotation was wonderful. It is exactly what we want people to feel when they think about supporting Song of Sahel. I searched for something that was so moving. She had such passion about the cause for eliminating hunger and she was only 10 yrs old at the time. We need that passion over this coming weekend.
