Wow! I cannot believe my book was so popular. I have designed a website for it that also includes reviews and videos about it. I have been interviewed for magazines like time, talk shows, and have also spoken at UN conferences. Laura is busy helping me balance my schedule and schoolwork. I have grown more comfortable talking about my life as a soldier, but there are some things I have only shared with Laura. I have decided to donate the proceeds from the book to various charities in Africa, in order to improve my country. I will post one or two of the videos on the blog, and the rest will be on my website. If you have any questions for me, feel free to post a comment. I am getting ready for a speaking tour in a week, so I may not post for a while. Thanks to all who have supported me on my journeys.
