Advocate

Our 11 year old daughter Veronica wrote the following poem for a school project. I wanted to share this in the spirit of advocacy- advocating for those who have no voice.

AFRICA

'Oh this place of poverty, of sickness, of death.

When will their souls be relieved?

Who will aide them in their time of need?

Who will help the widows and orphans?

Who will take a stand for those who can't?

Will I be the one to walk along side the orphan?

Will you be the one to give fresh water to the
dying?

When will we help those in need?

Be the one who stands up to help the orphan and the
widow.'
