This post really touched my heart.. As I read it I couldn’t avoid memories from my South American home to come to my mind.. Sad ones. In Bolivia dozens if not hundreds of persons die each year in accidents. A lot of them involve public transport: buses going too fast in dangerous curves, drivers driving for too long, or drinking while driving. People get run over every day, we don’t even hear about all the people that die this way, only of those who were run over in or near the cities, probably because there are witnesses.. The drivers are almost never caught, or at least it is never mentioned in the news. A grand uncle of my husband, the mother of a friend from school and a young friend from my theater group died this way, crossing the road or walking on the side of it.. I think no one was held responsible in any of those cases.. I wish people wouldn’t forget these victims.
I am sure people in Egypt will not forget these children as easily now, I know I won’t!
