I could not at this time take on the responsibility of starting a dialogue on Child Soldiers on this site but I would be willing to respond from time to time. I work with a non-profit (that's how I got to know Christian) and we have our own on-line initiative. See www.networkforpeace.com
for more information.

Hello, Kathleen! I was browsing thru the members and thought you would be a nice friend to have here on this website. What do you think about starting a group for the awareness of the Child Soldiers/Invisible Children on this website? I have never been involved with starting a website group before and would very much appreciate your input. Thank You, Dear, for your kind friendship. Sending you Love from California!
