It's hard to celebrate your success when you get emails from your partners telling you about life in a war zone. When they let you know that they are greatful for your thoughts and prayers, as they spend the day on their stomachs on the floor hoping that the bullets that are hitting the houses around them don't kill them, or their children. When others email you hoping that their family is okay as the borders are closed and they are stuck in the US. The only consolation is that the fight is for freedom. They are fighting against a dictator that defies the results of a democratic election and the scorn of the international community. They are fighting for freedom, for democracy, and they are being ignored as the world turns to Libya.
The battle in Libya is important, but let's not forget those struggling alone in Cote d'Ivoire... or the Congo, or Zimbabwe, or countless others struggling for the freedom so many take for granted.
If I believed in prayer I would ask you to pray for those who are suffering, fighting, hiding, but I believe that God or Karma, or Fate, or Mankind or that Undefinable Force helps those that help themselves, and more importantly others.
Please, keep those that suffer in your heart, and embrace the freedom that you have.
