A Walk In Thier Shoes........

A walk in their shoes would be a long walk indeed. It would be full of danger, hardships, pain, tears and  most of the time even blood. Who are they? They are the poverty stricken children of foreign nations. They are the child brides of poor countries. They are slaves of these countries. They are those with no voices....
It was a usual day. Wake up, school, friends,teachers, etc, etc and etc. It was nothing interesting about my day until I opened my email. I am a member of the CARE organization (if you don't know who we are look us up or message me) and support the organization in any way I can. Today in my email I received a letter from CARE telling me that recently a young Yemeni girl had been killed for internal bleeding after performing the expected sex after being married toa twenty three year old. The girl was only twelve. The thing that really stabbed me was the fact that this isn't an unusual occurrence. Dare I say that it could even be expected. Statistics show that every day there 25,000 new child brides and every year 6 million, I believe. Some girl are married as young as five! What do they know about being married? They hardly know what marriage  really is? Things like this are outrageous! If girls are not married they sometimes go to sex trafficking rings for money. In other countries females just aren't as valued as men and its wrong!
In Africa, every day kids lose their parents (not one but both) to AIDS and/or HIV. These kids are left to fend for themselves and a lot of them don't make it. For those that do make it, their standard of living is below metiocore! They struggle and scramble every day just to make ends meat. Sometimes these orphans are taken in by kind hearted shelters or schools, but what about the kds that aren't ever found? What about those kids that aren't take in? What happens to them? Boys grow up with no positive male figure in their lives, lose their education,lose their dreams, turn to a life of crime....its like running along a path to find  at the end  a huge brick wall. A dead end in life. And things like this are happening everyday. I'm not tying to preach because I'm not a pastor and I'm no angel, I'm just trying to inform the world of whats going on in the world. Anybody can help. Join an organization (it doesn't have to be CARE anyone will do!), donate,protest, start your own organization, write to your stare senators, anything to get this information out to the public.
