Lost boys of Sudan

The lost boys is a name given to all of the boys who were orphaned or separated from their family during the Civil war. There are more than 27,000 lost boys. Today there are estimated around 17,000 lost boys still in refugee camps. However others were sent to the United States in hopes that they would have a brighter future that way.

Thoughts on Youtube video

I can not imagine what it would have been like to be considered a woman at 12. i can remember thinking how hard my life was at 12. but after seeing that video it makes my life look so easy. i got to go to private school and was fed whenever i wanted and was safe at all times. Then to be 14 and married? that would have been crazy for me. it is a very sad situtation for someone to be married and pregnant at 15. that would have been a terrible life. i could never imagine myself having a child at this age, or even begin to think how i would be able to take care of a child all by my self at this age. i have enough trouble trying to keep up with my dogs and all i have to do is feed them, my mom buys everything. once again it is sad how these girls lives are.....we should do a fund raiser to get money for them.

Thoughts on lost girls article

i think it is terrible how the girls had to live in such terrible conditions. These wemon are so strong to have been able to surrive with very little help at all. it is upsetting to know that no one was willing to help these girls. even though there was not as many girls as boys it should not matter. both are human and should be treated equaly and with the same respect. i can not imagine what those girls must have gone through.

Hotel Rwanda

Hotel Rwanda is a movie based on a true story. The story is about a man named  Paul Ruesabagina, who made it his personal mission to save as many Tutsi people as he could. The movie starts in the year 1994 and takes place at Mille Collines, during this time the Hutu militia is trying to take over the government. The Hutu rioters wanted to rid their country of all Tutsi people. The Hutu massacred over 500,000 people, just because of who they were. It was a Genocide. The Hutu focused on killing the children in order to wipe out the next generation. Paul who is a Hutu is married to a Tutsi and spends the whole movie trying to keep her safe; along with his children. 
     I thought that the movie was interesting but disturbing. It was horrifying what was happening and how no one wanted to help. The countries that did not help should be ashamed of themselves. Knowing that Innocent women and children were being slaughtered was extremely unnerving and difficult to watch.
