The peace in ... ( 9 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.

This book was amazing. It made me laugh and cry and it just touched me in so many ways. I feel so much for the boys and people who were forced into fighting in this. I want everything to get better and I hope somehow it will all just end. Thank you for this book. It took some serious courage to write that and bring back up those horrible memories.

I started reading ... ( 3 weeks ago by beraucracy)

I started reading the book that I picked up in a supermarket, having known people from Sierria Leone who were active and involved in the political side of the conflict, I decided this book was probably more interesting than reading about a hollywood film.
I had known of the child soldier and the drug use and the atrocities, but it was a good thing to refesh my mind and to read of one account, it left me grateful for both Ismael's survival and for my own gracefully free & peaceful life.
