Episode Description
Growing up in a country that is caught in the throes of war takes a heavy toll on a person’s mind, especially the mind of a child. Children are the lost and forgotten casualties of war, and the world may not understand or properly acknowledge this group of victims. It is hard to fathom that there can come a time when the basic necessities of life (food, shelter, safety) that we take for granted are not always readily available to everyone. In “Witness, A Civil War Experience From A Child’s Perspective” author, QuanuQuanei A. Karmue, shares his unique experience, perspective and hope for the future of Liberia, one child at a time. Written by one who witnessed war at an early age, was lucky enough to escape, and who returned soon after the war to witness firsthand the devastating effect of war on the children. This is a story of love: a mother’s love for her children and for the children of Liberia, written by the son in honor of his mother. Ultimately, this mother’s love has become a commitment to build hope, one child at a time. The project can be viewed at www.savemorekids.org
