Ah, the job? Assimilation and background reading bites!

My desk is wedged between a pole, two coat stands and it weirdly appears to be invisible. It definitely makes up for you lack of ugly.

For the first time in my life, I am working a true 9-5 job! Who said kids weren’t good for anything? I should have made one up years ago.

Gary, it’s my secret wish that you are also signed up to do Trent’s YON. It would be awesome to see your novel project develop!

Aww thanks, Nicola! How’s the job going? xo

I am trying very hard to think about where the ugly is in those photos… Too too pretty.

Good luck with the YON (the second/sequel).

Comment on Ishmael Beah’s memoir, ‘A Long Way Gone’ not factually correct? by Josie Young

Josie Young — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 08:23:14 +0000

I think you have all missed the point.

It doesn’t matter if Ishmael was a soldier for 12 months, 3 years or even 2 weeks! The point is:

Around 300,000 children are fighting in adults battles around the world today. The majority of these children are in Africa. Many are in Sierra Leone.

Every day children are murdered, tortured, raped, and left homeless, afraid and vulnerable.

Thanks to Ishmael Beah, thousands of people who were not aware of the issue of child soldiers have been forced to sit up and pay attention.

Some one has to fight for these children, some one has to speak for them. Ishmael has dedicated his life to doing this.

So, hold your criticisms and think for the moment about what you are doing – you are trying to weaken one of the few people able to advocate for these children of war.
