michel chickwanene

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.
