How often do you read world news, in particular, news about atrocities committed against minority groups? Do you actively seek out such news or does the daily dose of man's inhumanity towards man turn you off?
Here's a news story lifted from Amnesty International's website that touched me deeply today: http://www.amnesty.org/en/news-and-updates/good-news/major-step-forward-paraguays-investigations-sexual-slavery-girls-20080814
At 33, a rose is no longer a simple, sweet-smelling flower to me. She's the emblem of something beautiful forged by the fires of hell and human degredation.
Julia Ozorio Gamecho, the rose in question, is the first woman to come forward and talk to the Truth and Justice Commission about how she was subjected to sexual slavery by the military during the dictatorship of Stroessner in Paraguay.
Read her story. Share her broken dreams. Help her rebuild her future.
