"Help for children is not a drop on a hot stone.
It is a drop in the ocean that will never get lost. "
(Sir Peter Ustinov)

"I've lost my parents, my family and I have lost everything as a little girl.
I have children from the military commanders. I found my son after 10 years. Today I live in Denmark. When I sit in my living room and think
what may have happened to my daughter and all the other children I saw
what  has been done to me over 10 years  being in the army.
I get to this point how to make a child smile, it becomes very personal."
(China Keitetsi)
