Thanks for sharing your story so generously Ishmael. I went to Sierra Leone in 2005 (my friend worked for an NGO. She is now married to a lovely SL man). Reading your story made me cry. SL is so beautiful and should be a rich country.
I can relate to trauma (not like yours) and also I realise that I got 'bonded' to my abusers as well. Allah/God bless you and wishing you good ju ju, and peaceful dreams. Emxx

God Bless you Ishmael. You have turned tragedy to triumph. I was fortunate enough to see Ishmael Beah today when he came to my school to give a speech for 2 periods. It was incredible and a special thanks goes to him for doing that for us. He says to, "Never belittle anyone's suffering." We need to spread his message, because he is right. We need to raise awareness-everyone.

actually, the united states probably does. of the around 10 national governments(not rebel groups or other military organizations) that use child soldiers in war, the united states supplies 9 of them with military aid. bullshit huh?

The peace in ... ( 5 months ago by crwfb)
The peace in Mr.Beahs' eyes although he has seen so much is so utterly awe inspiring. I feel that there is hope for the world where there was none before.I am envious of you all who have had the chance to meet him or here him speak live. As I prepare to graduate university having studied child soldiering and child psychology my one hope is to be able to apply even half the strength and love of this man onto the children I hope to help.
