Death according to Lazarus...

It has been months since I have seen Blood Diamond. I am still bothered by it. I am angry that I wasn't aware that there are 200,000 child soldiers right now. I am angry at myself for not knowing about this as it was happening (1994). I have thought about it everyday since I saw it. I was frustrated after seeing Hotel Rwanda and Somtimes in April...but this just makes me feel angry. I am sad because there is nothing I can do to help anyone there. Next year (I already have commitments this summer), I should volunteer to teach in Africa for atleast some portion of the summer, if not the whole summer. Could I possibly make a difference? I don't know. But I can't sit on my ass here in America when there are people who need so much.

I haven't sleep much lately. I think this is why. Has this movie affected anyone else like this?

If anyone has any information on how I can volunteer overseas please let me know.
