I was given your book to read for English class, and I was simply shocked by what is going on in Africa and inspired by your story. I'm in 10th grade and am glad I am aware of what is going on now at this age. A Long Way Gone was a hard read, but in the end I felt empowered . When I was in third grade I started a charity to help kids in inner city schools that don't have what I do. If everyone could be aware of all the global issues all around them, I think we could all change the world. With your true story in the back of my mind I believe that with a little hope and a lot of action, we can impact the world. Thank you for enforcing the message of hope with your true story.
