5/20/2002: Sierra Leone voter

When I first saw that image on the site last night, it caught me off guard...but I like the concept behind it. It conveys inspiration to me.

I worked with a gentleman from Sierra Leone when I lived in DC. I didn't ask him a whole lot of information, but he mentioned that his parents and other relatives were still over there. You could see the pain in his face when he mentioned this. This was almost 3 years ago, and I believe at the time, the war there was still raging. He also had an 8-year old son with him here. Hopefully, that child will never have to suffer the fate that other children his age did.
