Marjan. I can't believe that she's only 5 years old and yet carrying a heavy load on her bag as she scavenges for firewood on the streets of Afghanistan to keep their family warm this winter. I saw her photo in the news. She looks cute but has that sadness in her eyes. Her baby brother has just died and didn't survive the cold.
Oh, my heart is crushed as I read the statistics that 1 out of 5 children in Afghanistan cannot live past 5. They die of malnutrition or hypothermia. Afghanistan is said to be the worst place that a child could live.
As a mom of 2 kids, I can't help but be disturbed.. I can't help but pray for the children of Afghanistan....
