God Bless the Child

He visits Uganda in the spring of 2005, and sits in a classroom with students. Since he is the Ambassador of the Education of Children for UNICEF, and once was all set to be a teacher himself, he is happy to fulfill his committments for the organization. In a world far removed from our own, He sees the children are learning, but while there, he learns a lot as well. He cannot believe that he's never been apraised of the atrocities that some of the children there must face each night. He is also bewildered that for nearly 20 years have passed and the USA has not addressed the possibility of intervening to stop the horrifying practices of cruelty to these children by guerilla warriors, who consider themselves soldiers.

Artist Reply: Well, he was not the only one! Now, I do. It's a major International study on the campus where I work, now. All of a sudden about 5 months ago, everyone on campus has found out! Thank you for looking!

Powerful colors!

Artist Reply: Jerry, thank you, although I know it leaves much to be desired. That's okay though, it helped at least 2 people find out about my subject's "other work."

Brilliant concept work Carliss!!!! Simply magnific!!!

Artist Reply: Analua! Hi! This is a tribute to a good person, and I hold him in high regard, no matter what desparaging things have been said about him. He's expressive, his persona is different in each picture I see, and sincere. I want to show, as best I can, how I feel. With my humble ability. Thank you Analua.
