Bloggers Unite - Refugees

Today we can complain about the economy, the elections or any other
myriad of things but today I ask you to pause for a moment and think
of others less. Millions of people around the world have been
displaced from their homes. The conditions that they endure are
apalling and something which we cannot even imagine. Today bloggers
around the world have dedicated theis posts to create awareness about
this problem. We can make a difference but first we have to confront
the facts. www.refugees.org

Mom, Where Are We Going?

It's late at night and mommy wakes me up. She puts some of my clothes
in a bag and tells me to get my doll. She seems scared, but she's been
scared since daddy went away. She cries a lot lately. As we walk out
of our home I notice people laden with bags and children. I'm scared.
I tell mom I want to go back home but she says we can't. Soldiers
usher us into a truck and we leave. It's crowded, everyone is scared.
As I look back I wonder when I'll see my home. Something inside me
says never.
