Greetings!


This photo is worth more than a thousand words and one I feel compelled to share. Basir sent it to me a few days ago. These children live in one of the five refugee camps where we distributed what we packed last September. Several thousand redvines have been distributed to refugee children thanks to the American Licorice Company.
Have a good weekend and see the movie Capernaum if it's in your area. It's about a twelve year old boy living in the slums of Beirut who sues his parents for bringing him into this world. Life is so difficult in the slums, he argues he should not have been born. It was nominated for an Oscar.

His mother and father are given an opportunity to speak during the trial and his mother's defense is one the world should hear. In fact the movie is one the entire world should see.

It won't leave you depressed. Everyone will leave the theater more compassionate and empathetic for those living and waiting on the other side of "the wall".

It can't be streamed online yet. I checked. But, it should be in the future. Definitely see!!!
