the child who can't speak for herself or tell of being beaten and burned and left for dead by a mother unknown.
...gratitude for a river..
...a hopeless respite from flies thanks to smoke from the tires they burn in dumps where they live.
...the emptiness of a life lived alone in card board box shed.
The average American silently reads about 244 words per minute. Approximately 18 children die from starvation each minute. That's one child dead for every 13.5 words read.
Silence is the sound of at least 8 children dying as you read this.
Think about that...
Then break the deafening SILENCE...
