Rachel Corrie (1979-2003) ble drept av en israelsk bulldoser i Gaza
I’m here for other children. I’m here
because I care.
I’m here because children
everywhere are suffering and because
40,000 people die each day from hunger.
I’m here because those people are mostly
children we have got to understand that
the poor are all around us and we’re
ignoring them.
We have got to understand that these
deaths are preventable. We have got to
understand that people in third-world
countries think and care and smile and
cry, just like us. We have got to
understand that they are us, we are them.
My dream is to stop hunger by the year
2000. My dream is to give the poor a
chance. My dream is to save the 40,000
people who die each day. My dream can and
will come true if we all look into the
future and see the light that shines
there.
