A BLOODY GADGET !!!!

Ah! it is inoncent this look. But what he is going to do with that has in his hands? I would like to see him with another gadget, less heavy and less bloody. I won't say that he is under influence of TV or movies, because he is a villager. Surely they are educating him as soldier. That is the common crime in some areas where tribal wars are considered as the only way to justify human's savage forces.

AS THE ARRIVAL OF THE GLORY

Children soldiers at this age, but they are neither affraid nor ashamed of their new military clothes. They look as if they are conscious of their new duties. It must not be easy, but they seem to know it right now. May be they have taken exemple on TV. Therefore, should we close our tv set in order to save the rest of our children? that is my question this morning.

A FIRE BIRD !!!!!

Life is a chance, we use to say. If some (children) are obliged to accept their pains, but most of them freely choose their own ways, their own style. It seems to be the typical exemple here. Through his position and his look, this child (Tchad) shows all his happiness. He considers his ''job'' too seriously. But I beg you to forgive him, he doesn't know that he is walking under a dark sun. Let's go to help him! let's go to help them get out of the darkness!

LIKE MY CHILDHOOD IN THE SAVANA

BORN TOO POOR, BUT TOO FREE IN THE LIFE!

Through this photo, I remember my own childhood in the savana. It wasn't a great moment, full of richest, but it was very wonderfull, very sweet. We were so free and so happy! At that time, we didn't know even the simply name of any kind of weapon. Our great occupation was the capture of rats in the savana. No one could tell us not to deal with it. It was our favorit game first, but after the animals were killed and eaten as a fiesta!
But nowadays, children have no time to play in Africa, they have enherited wars, blood, and violences...
Do you still remember your childhood? Tell me enough.

COMING OUT OF THE HELL

There is some thing mysterious in this look. This child is deeply endamaged, but his eyes shines like moons. It means that coming from the Hell we change the mood, that is again more important than dying. He suffers very seriouly, but suffuring is better than dying for nothing at all.

What do you think about it? Is it a regard of a good futur? I'm not so sure!

The real face of a childwood

I couldn't forget this picture for you. As flowers, childwood has it's genuine colours. I'm so glad behind such a mingling of the nature. It means that, howere they are black, white, yellow, green or red, all our duty is to secure them and to provide them the pleasure of living. Oh! may God bless the author of this picture. What do think about it?

INOCENCE MURDERED

What a pity! The child is receiving here his latest benedictions under bombs, because the departure is ready. I'm not gainst the Hamas's policy, but really speaking, what this boy is going to change in their difficult situations? At the same time, I'm deeply affraid, because children's participation to the war means that violence has much more road behind to be fulfiled. ALLAHOU-ACKBAR, God is one! But He can't be at the same time love and violence, no!

THE ULTIMATE FIGHT

Do the children desire an other thing much more important than a book? I don't think so. If you agree with me, write a poetry for them, by now! Because, later will be too late to save them. The only ultimate strugle that we should do, is to make them reach schools.

BEGINNING IN THE DARKNESS

I don't know if you see the save thing like me! Inimaginable, I can say! At the left we have a myanmar child sordier. Now he has lost one of his legs. The small one at the right is from Rwanda, he seems to be happy with his weapon. But is it his choice to handle that arm at this age? No, I say, because near him there are some adults, even his own father, admiring the miracle.

AS HYENA'S MARKET

He is from Kosovo. He is an handsome teenager. He was on front during kosovo's civil war, as in hyena's market. The face that he has here, is not for a school boys. Has he lost his soul in this market? I don't...but I'm not so optimist.
