War Child

I've been reading a lot about child soldiers lately and I want to recommend both the book and movie War Child to you.  A heart-wrenching story of Emmanuel Jal, originally from Sudan.  His story is unique in the fact that he spent some time in an Ethiopian refugee camp and since he had a great aptitude for talking, he connected with the UN personnel on the ground.  The movie shows some of the footage from that time and certainly ties in a lot that you read in the book.  His story is also powerful because the faith that his mother had became his own as God literally saved his life by providing a bird to eat (there are more details to the story, but I'll let you read about them).  Head to www.warchildmovie.com.
