A Long Way Gone

In this book it discussed the life of a boy and how is world was turned upside down. He was forced to witness murders, war and a harsh life at a young age. He has to kill or be killed. Poverty, natural disasters and lack of education are reasons for these situations. He no longer had family and was fighting for survival. The fact that a women from UNICEF came into his life and made a difference is powerful. They are able to share their story and impact lives worldwide to take notice in children soldiers. Having resources such as therapists, and rehabilitation gave this boy a chance at a new life. Like we discussed in class finding forgiveness in himself is key. Not holding feelings back and sharing his story is the greatest gift he could give.
