Today is Menna’s birthday…
But instead of blowing candles, she’s lighting a fire to cook.
Instead of wearing a dress, she’s carrying responsibility.
Instead of playing, she’s surviving.
A child who should be celebrating, laughing, dreaming —
is learning how to live without a childhood.
This is not a choice.
This is what war does to children.
All Menna wants is what every child deserves:
a safe life, a warm meal, and a future. 💔

Day 150

There is absolutely no reason for people to be reduced to waiting for token "aid" to fall from the sky. Aid as a concept is itself a failure-this world could be a place of sufficiency and mutuality, if not for the forces of greed and violence which render millions-in Palestine and
beyond-deprived.
Remember Yazan al Kafarna today.

"The soul is healed by being with children" Fyodor Dostoevsky said. What happens to one's soul when children start wishing for death?

Child labor returns to the United States: A society moving in reverse

What emerges in the US is a picture of a country moving rapidly in reverse, driven by a deep and intractable economic, political and social crisis.
