An update on how I am doing. I love living with Laura. We have so much fun together, and she loves me like I am her own son. We often stay up late, telling each other stories from our past or that we have heard. Laura is one of the few people I opened up to about my years as a soldier. I get good grades at school, and I am a part of the hip-hop dance club. I also founded the Africa club. This is a club that researches issues in Africa, and tries to come up with innovative solutions. I share the best of these ideas with Laura, who passes them onto the UN. We also raise money and supplies for charities in Africa. We have supported rehab facilities for child soldiers, AIDS clinics, schools, well projects, and orphanages. One charity that I recently heard about and I am really excited for is Invisible Children. They are committed to ending child soldiering in Uganda. I am planning a major fundraiser for them that will involve my entire school district. If you are interested in donating, here is their website:
PS: My book will be out in a month!
