I would like to share here a poem written by Chris Knop for the said campaign
Come Walk in My Shoes
My life was traded by another
How I long to see my father and mother
Do you know what its like to have your life sold?
Then contract HIV, yet live on and be bold
To hear my story means that you care
But to truly understand you must walk with me there
Trade your life for mine, you have nothing to lose
Join the One Life Revolution (OLR), come walk in my shoes
There are two stakeholders in this revolution
There is mine – one life that needs resolution
And there is you – one life that can help mine
The revolution takes place when our plights combine
The OLR experience let you truly see
What its like to be trafficked and have HIV
I dare you to care take my challenge if you choose You will then understand as you’d have walked in my shoes

I just read the OLR website - we hear about these situations but it takes on a whole new meaning when you see the pictures and read the stories. It's wonderful you put your time and energy into supporting such a necessary cause.
kerry-thank you to you for taking the time to read it. I dont know much either until I was told about it recently. The heroes are the children themselves. Hopefully more people will know about this and be inspired to do something about it.
