the recent posts-there are horrors and atrocities that happen to the children in Jam-as well as all over our

"A hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove,what kind of house I lived in,how much
money I had in the bank...but the world may be a better
place because I made a difference in the life of a child" -Forest Witcraft'
Not sure why seeing these pix made me so emotional, I guess the words you quoted, the 2 threads up regarding the plight of the Jamaican babies, but when looking at the children in your report, I see the same looks of pure joy and happiness that I see in the eyes of my grandson, my nieces and nephews, in the states, and the faces of my children over in my South coast yard as well as some I see this side in Negril. Children being children, with a child's heart and mind, aware of the beauty surrounding them, and for some unaware of what lurks around the corner or down the lane.
I hate being in a world where we have to teach our children and some parents fear to keep them safe, most never need to know the lesson, but as has been said, Knowledge is Power.
Thank you Suzen for brightening my day with a page full of Smiles. They are beautiful.
Suzen I hope you don't mind my adding the above, video, As a child it reminded me what my job was. I miss those times, and wish the children of the world today could have known them.
This is how all children of the world have a God given right to feel, mischievous, happy, fear less.
