Lest We Forget..

I have lived for twenty years. I have only seen peace in my country.

If I had been born in the Congo, in my lifetime, I would have witnessed the death of over four million people around me.

If I lived in Rwanda, I would have lived through a genocide that killed over 800,000 people.

If I had been born in Palestine I would have never seen peace in my country.

If I had been born in Iraq, I would have lived with war most of my life.

If I had been born in Sudan, I would be witnessing the death of thousands of people around me.

I am completely unworthy of the gift that I have been given.
Pray for Peace.
