In their own pictures

After I began my journey to learn more about the Child Rescue Center, I discovered how blind I have been to the Sierra Leone civil war--and how bad it was, even as I worked with the RAF from England during the stabilization work in 2000.

I found Sorious Samura's heart-wrenching documentary, "Cry Freetown" and his cautiously hopeful "Return to Freetown" that showed first-hand, the tragedy and horror experienced by and perpetrated on the children of Sierra Leone.

Then, I came across this website showing the drawings of children at the Child Rescue Center and my heart broke--through this research, I am discovering may faith has been too simple and too comfortable, while there are these outrages happening around us.

That which has been at the edges of my radar scope (Rwanda, Congo, Zambia, Sudan) are now screaming overhead in my life.
