"When the mayi-mayi attacked my village, we all ran away. In our flight, the soldiers captured all the girls, even the very young. Once with the soldiers, you were forced to "marry" one of the soldiers. Whether he was as old as your father or young, bad or nice, you had to accept. If you refused, they would kill you. This happened to one of my friends. They would slaughter people like chickens. They would not even bury the bodies they slaughtered... I even saw a girl who refused to be "married" being tortured…”.
- Jasmine, a 16 year-old girl who was recruited by the mayi-mayi armed group in South Kivu when she was 12. She now has a four-month-old baby.
Under international law, the recruitment and use of children under 18 is prohibited, and the recruitment and use of children under 15 is a war crime.
This is real. It happens every day ~ we just need to decide if we are going to do anything about it ...

Can we?
My son had his school concert recently and there is something that happens in your heart when you watch 140 children walk into a dark hall; holding candles - listening to Michael Jackson's old song "Heal the World". The Music Video was on a big screen and my heart screamed for my friends who sees this hardship every day; who try and relieve a little bit of pain - and go to bed every night with it in their hearts. (They know who they are... :heart:) Because it is our children who will inherit the world we leave them ... at random ...
