The Children...

2007.12.31
[above: at a Children's Rehabilitation Center Peace Camp in early December. The CRC supports children that are victims of state violence. In the group that was at the camp included kids that were beaten, kids who had lost siblings and parents (as in jailed, kidnapped, or killed), kids and thier families who have been forced to leave their homes and livelihood, etc. All of this, they claim, because of government agents.]

So it's New Year's eve... It's almost time for me to go back to Canada and I'm a bit pensive about it all. In my time here in the Philippines I've more than healthy numbers of kids that are living in conditions that would sadden most Westerners.

Usually this results in them passing the blame on the corrupt gov ("this would never be allowed in our countries..."). True, true, but what if one is being honest, is this really the whole story?

Mom Hi Son,

It's a sad thing especially for the kids who is suffering and losing their loved ones but how do we know the real story. I am just glad that you will be back here safe and sound and probably with this stories people will be more forgiving and love life to the fullest no matter what.

Thank you and it's really appreciated. We will see you soon.

Love
Mom
