Woven in the tapestry of my calling and Mission.

Woven in the tapestry of my calling and mission. On Tuesday, 10 April 2012 I wrote:

At 4:00 am this morning I woke up and could not go back to bed. I was disturbed by one question that may sound simple but yet it is very important to my heart. The question is:- With all the great organizations in the world today focused on helping children;- Compassion being the lead and my wonderful mother who gave me a voice, World vision, Save the Children, Feed the Children, etc and now Isaiah 58 that combines all these organizations, why is it that the voice of the child is still not heard? I am not talking about the child registered in the organization but the African child, the Dominican child, the Haitian child, etc. Is it a problem with the developing country governments that the voice of the Child is not heard? But they have ministers in the government to represent the child!
Why is it so hard to hear the voice of the child?  Is it destined that the child’s voice will never be heard? The little I know about the American Child but have to do more research is that; they will be heard if they reported a case which is a treasure they should take with high regard.
I would like to differ with a lot of the world on the Kony 2012 video that went viral. I think that was the voice of the child. The Ugandan child screamed on Internet, television, the celebrities talked about it. But what was the response of the world? “oh! that is a very emotional based video,” I have no details of the organization (invisible children- I really think this fits well, children are invisible to the world especially those in the developing world), I am not saying that people should donate to the organization mentioned but at least can anyone hear -that child having no hope? I was not surprised when the government and people in my country spoke differently about the video because the IMPORTANCE of hearing the child’s voice has never been in ‘our culture’ not even in the smallest unit of a family. “The child has to be quiet.”
What can all these organizations and presidents do to help voice the child? If these organizations came together and spoke for the child, I think the world would hear since they are highly trusted by many people and governments. I am not talking about the video here. I am talking about the child in many countries. I know my president has written a number of books on the child, compassion has done a lot on the child. It is the best on the child that is why I am passionate about compassion and want it to live forever.
Help me find some sleep, after growing up in compassion program, I have realized that a child’s voice can be heard, I have spoken to millions of people literally through the years on different stages and people try to listen at times 250 out of 8000 hear the child’s voice. Why do the rest shut their ears? Why is it so hard to hear the cry of a child? It is not made up, it’s real. I leave my apartment every weekend seeking for an ear ready to listen. I am not satisfied yet. What can the world do and those with the power to get the governments of the developing world to listen to the dying child, the hungry child, the child suffering under a step mother? Can the organizations have one voice for once?
I don’t know if you understood my heart, but what am saying is that I am seeking a hearing. A hearing that is not of my own but of a child with no mother; suffering under the harsh conditions of corrupt politics and poverty. Are my crazy? I don’t think I am. I know that I was given a voice and I want to use it right to speak for those suffering. The thought of them has robbed my sleep tonight. It is the only weekend I have not travelled to speak since March and now I cannot sleep. I thought I was happy to sleep in my apartment this weekend and not travel but am not. What can we do different to help the child both the one registered and not registered. Can we get all organizations together on one table to help change the policy of government? Or is it too complicated again. My mind seeks an answer for ONE QUESTION: WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR THE VOICE OF THE CHILD TO BE HEARD AND WHAT CAN WE DO DIFFERENTLY?
