Posted 3:14pm August 31st, 2008So few passions in life can compare to that of one in which the purpose is to save children from abuse and neglect and or stop war. Your friend, as others before him, have lost their lives trying to expose the truth. Their spirit is with those of us that want to see change. You are here, after everything, even now telling the truth and working towards finding a means to saving the children. It is innate for you. Hopefully people will help with contributions toward these efforts. I have assisted Mercy Corps with projects including the genocide in Darfur and others for years and help on a local level with the poor. Stewart, you are an angel on Earth. Thank you, Meg
