This is Michel (mi shel). He was a child solder from Sierra Leone. When he as five years old, solders decended on him and his friends in a soccer field. They blind folded him, shoved a gun into his hands and told him to shoot! Shoot!! And when he took the blind fold off, he saw he had killed one of his best friends! Five years old! You can hear his story on the Me to We website that I have previously posted.

Me to WE Day!
Darrin and Greg at an Italian Restaurant where we ate yummy Gnocchi and delectable desserts!
This weekend, Lynn and I took Karlie and went to Toronto to Canada's National Me to We Day. The best way to describe it, is basically it's a pep rally for world peace and education for teenagers. They had many Canadian super stars and some American, speak and give inspirational speeches. You can watch the whole thing at: www.ctv.ca/metowe. We had a GREAT time and were truly inspired. Spencer West, who we went to Africa with, was one of the special speakers! We are so proud of him, you can see his speech at the end of clip 8 at that website. Awesome!
Lynn went to Canada on Tuesday so he could work a few days before we got there on Thursday. This is the sign he met us with at the airport. The first side says, "LPGA Rookie of the Year, Karlie Abplanalp." The other side said "Hair Club for men experiment gone terribly wrong, white guys shouldn't have afro's, Austin Eldrege."
On Saturday, drove down to Niagara Falls. The tree and leaves were stunning, as was the Falls.

O.K. this blog wasn't posted by Karlie, and I'm not a Cougar, but David is Smoken' in this video! Looks like he has grown up a little bit. . . Just kidding.
