Did you know that there are more child soldiers in Arfica than there are American troops in Iraq?

At least 200,000 childre soldiers are in Africa right now. The movie Blood Diamond portrays the horrific practice of how beautiful children are turned into killers with the kind of realism that makes you want to turn away, to deny it, to pretent that there is nothing that can be done about it.

I suggest you rent the DVD, but if you do rent it, be prepared to see violence.

A also suggest you do something about this kind of slavery. Here are two options:

Join the Not For Sale campaign. This is an anti-slavery group fighting against child soldier slavery, sex-trade slavery, and work slavery. 27,000,000 slaves globally.

World Vision is fighting politically and in other ways to end the problem of child soldiers in Nothern Uganda.

Please go and do something, even if it is signing a petition. Help bring an end to this kind of abuse, this kind of hate, this kind of evil. Let's use our American power and privilege to make a difference. Let's join God in freeing slaves.
