Can you hear our silence?

Last weekend, Ottawa became a Silent City taking part in Free the Children's Vow of Silence.

 We were surprised by Michel Chikwanine, who is a former child soldier from the Congo. What better way to Break the Silence then with someone who was once silenced himself? Very unreal. And of course, Jobin Sam, who made the MOBilizers happen (We wish you safe travels as you head back to India, Jo-bob).

During the day, I had lots of time to think. Thinking about the children that I met this summer, the ones who give me strength, courage, and hope for all the shameless ideas I have... 

Salabwek.

Enelerai.

Motony.

Berna.

this is for you ....
