Rwanda: In Rwanda, a boy with a machete scar on the back of his head, caused by being attacked at the height of the civil conflict, stands with other children outside the Cyugaro primary school.
“The children of Rwanda witnessed unspeakable violence.” Between April and June 1994, an estimated 800,000 Rwandans were killed in the space of 100 days. Thousands killed were babies and children.
As the world remembers the ten-year anniversary of the genocide in Rwanda, the country’s children continue to live with the devastating affects of this brutal conflict. When the genocide ended in 1994, 800,000 people had been murdered – 300,000 of these victims were children. In addition, 95,000 children had been orphaned.

One must care about a world one will never see
Stung Meanchy municipal waste dump located in the southern part of the city Phnom penh; Cambodia. The dump covers about 100 acres, almost 6 hectares. Roughly 2,000 people, about 800 of which are children, live and work there. Some of these children are orphans abandoned by their parents, who cannot afford to support them. I saw children as young as three (photo in gallery) working in this waste dump. The children scavenge, search for plastics, scrap metal, anything that can be recycled, rubbish that can be collected and sold for money. On average a child can earn roughly about 50 pence a day, (working from sunrise to sunset)
Many children have been killed or seriously injured searching for rubbish, by being run over by dumpster trucks, garbage lorries and tractors. Many children fall in pit holes and are suffocated by garbage falling on top of them. I saw children eating rotten food found on the dump. All of the children there are under nourished, have sores and infections all over their bodies. The swarms of flies, insects and maggots don’t make their infections any easier to keep clean. (in photo gallery pic 8 you can see a boy outside his home which is an old mattress covered in black dots - these are flies) The smell is indescribable! No child should have to live in these conditions. It is a living hell, many girls as young as 7 are raped and abused by the other older workers on the dump (this is another cause close to my heart, to help stop the child abuse in Phnom penh). There are many children living on the streets in the city. These children should be playing not working and living in these conditions.
The aim of Rainbow Child Foundation is to build shelters, provide education and inprove these children's lives!!! RAINBOW CHILD FOUNDATION is a not for profit organisation set to help underprivileged children all over the world in a variety of ways. The analogy of the rainbow is that each colour is beautiful by itself but when put together in harmony they create this great spectacle we call the rainbow and at the end of every rainbow there is a treasure, the treasure that lies within us, and that treasure is what we are hoping to share with every child.
Tickets are now on sale for a fundraising dinner for Rainbow Child that is taking place in Barnet on 9th July. Priced at £60 they can be purchased by calling 07951 290 527. See the above blog or Rainbow website for more details.

Where I got lost and tried to find my way on a path that pulled me astray, where I was sad and trying my best to swim across a stream of tears -- back to my friends that make me smile and feel welcomed without worry or fears..... I am Blessed and I am grateful for your understanding. God Bless and with Love, Tomme de Momme and Family (Please come ck out my updated site with a little facelift since my sad hiatus, and I promise you if you click on the "Mother's Day..." Blog = you will be touched!)
Thank you for YourFriendship. My eight-year-old-peace-activist son Axil Kollist's quest for World Peace Before 2021 is gaining momentum! I'm so proud of him. Please embrace him AND his song "World Peace Before 2021" which he performs beautifully. His performance can be seen on MySpace, his webpage www. worldpeacebefore2021. com and/or YouTube (by searching his name Axil Kollist.) It is my intention to post a new video of him singing his song every few months so people can watch his talent grow as impressively as the momentum for his quest! I'm inviting you to contact my son directly too via his email address worldpeacebefore2021@hawaii.rr.com .I'm sharing two photos with you. The first is of my son distributing his free world peace bumperstickers and the second photo is of him singing his song “World Peace Before 2021” at Maui's Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Day Festivities in January 08. Very best regards, Axil's mom
