This picture is of 12 year old Ano and her sister, 2 year old Honrine. They're just two out of many who live in such terrible conditions due to the attacks of the LRA. This makes me sad, because Ano is a child, she should be smiling, laughing and having fun. But instead, that pleasure has taken away from her, and she has to grow up, very fast.
A Red Cross worker covers the the body of Dieudonne Kulimbo who was shot and killed in the bush near Dungu in northeastern Congo, February 17, 2009.
This photo makes me angry, because this person's life was ripped away from them, and it makes me sad to think about the family and maybe even young children they left behind. Why? This seems so wrong.
Fourteen-month-old Yabila Kubemboli, who is malnourished after his mother fled attacks on her village by Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels, awaits treatment at the hospital in the village of Dungu in northeastern Congo, February 20, 2009
This is heart wrenching. His mother was forced to leave him, or she didn't care enough to take him with her. It's terrible that this happened, but it also fills me with hope, because the caption says that he's awaiting treatment, which means that there is help out there, and for him, it's right around the corner.
