What would you be doing if your daughter were among the kidnapped?
Seriously, what would you do?
Your child may not be among this group of girls, but they are all someone’s child. So decide to do something! Make a commitment by adding it in your blog and linking it back here.
Let’s be on the side of the children… All children.postscript: I read 11 of the parents have died in the fighting since the kidnapping.

Thanks for keeping the topic in the fore front. Parts of Africa are near and dear to my heart. I hate hate hate when the children are involved at any level.
If there has to be fighting, play by the rules; leave the children to learn and grow up- perhaps find a better way.
So true!!! It seems all over the world at the moment children are being targeting in atrocious ways!! So sad!
How can we do that? I don’t think most people know what to do…
I think one of the few tools we have is social media.. Maybe write a blog post… Use the hash tag.. Like any posts, tweets etc that use the hash tag.. encourage your friends to do the same..
Thanks for the suggestions.
