Sri Lanka and human rights

Two summers ago I worked for Index on Censorship, an International Human Rights and Free Expression organization. We worked with Amnesty International, Article 19 and other organizations to document the pain and suffering of those whose rights were taken away or forgotten by their own country. I still am deeply affected by these issues and will not be one of those that ignore the terrible things that happen every day to young children, women and men. Below is a beautiful showcase on child soldier's in Sri Lanka. Please share this videos with others if you can.

Wow! What a touching piece of work which probably did little in a magazine. It's out there now though, more people may take time to see it, rather than flick by it in 2 seconds.
