Day #60: Kameelputs, SA: A Plea for Peace

So here I am at my permanent site. I think I'll do alright here. Walked around in town and I have to be honest: I got the creeps. Too many people watching and commenting. I mustn't lose patience, but it's hard.

I'm concerned about this war. Grown men should be ashamed, fighting like children. I don't understand the circumstances of this war at all, but it seems to me there should never be a reason to kill innocent people. We hide behind ideals of freedom and justice when we should be practicing love. I never want to understand. Please, God, save your children. Bring peace to their hearts. Take them home safely. Hear their prayers and relieve their pains and fears. Save their souls.
