As a child I was growing up in a country that was at war. There war was far, and I was very lucky not to experience it first hand. My experience of it was bringing vegetables and fruits to school that would be sent to front line.
As a six year old, I couldn’t wrap my head around the concept of war and people killing each other. And I thought that somehow war was my fault, it was because I couldn’t understand it that it was happening. And surely when I grow up, there will not be any war.
30 years passed since I was having these thoughts and now I have a six year old daughter of my own. Unfortunately the wars have not stopped and I still struggle to wrap my head around it (maybe it is still my fault?). All I know is that no child should ever experience horrors of war, and I am happy to support organization that provides support to the the children that have to see what they see.
