The ADDHU/CYCA
Centre for Orphaned Children has opened in Kenya

Continuing its Project of Humanitarian Aid in Kenya, ADDHU has opened, on the 15th of January, 2008, in collaboration with the local NGO, Capital Youth Caucus Association (CYCA), the ADDHU/CYCA Centre for Orphaned Children. We are thankful to all those who have made donations and given support to this important project.

Although we were able to accept only 15 children, because a lack of funds prevented us from enrolling the 40 children selected at this time, the opening of the centre represents an important first step for the defence of human rights for orphans, an idea strongly defended by ADDHU.

We want to provide these children an improvement in their lives and, at the same time, allow them to contact with a different culture.

I was there; I spoke to them, I’ve lived with them, I heard stories, I heard sorrows, I saw smiles in adversity, I saw hungry children fighting with dogs for grains of rice on the floor of a railroad station, I saw eyes beyond the bars in a carriage of a train witch destiny I could only guess …I saw the unfinished line of monks with their eyes looking at the floor in their way to the dinning-hall, I saw others walking down the streets asking for alms/rice, I read at the bills on the walls of the big cities words of violence and anger, I read at my  arrival in  a little book given by the guards that it was not permitted to pronounce the word “freedom”, I spoke, I listen and in my heart the words of Aung San Suu Kyi, read in one of her books, made an echo…and my heart was bound to that people to whom I promised to be their voice out side . It hasn’t been easy, but in the smallness of my country and in my self smallness I’ve done all I can.

So I’m entitle to ask you: don’t give up on Burma; don’t give up on Burmese people and on Aung San Suu Kyi and let’s make their voices our own voices. This is all that I ask of you!

Thank you

Laura Vasconcellos, Portugal
