On Friday, a group came down the street and around the block chanting "Oprah give us a voice". They were a group protesting the genocide of the Tamils in Sri Lanka.
It was a small gathering of people carrying Canadian and American flags. I did not realize the extent of the problem in Sri Lanka, this is something that really needs more attention in the media. I hope Oprah heard.
I hope she heard too. At least you have given a voice to it...who knew?
ReplyDeleteI take it for granted sometimes that I live in a very quiet area that's a stone's throw from the beach. This is a very different perspective, hearing your story and seeing the pictures. But at least you probably don't ever get bored living in this area!
ReplyDeleteOprah is so powerful. In some ways, I can see where someone might approach her for their cause before they even bothered approaching a legislator or a politician. She is more powerful in the ability of getting the word out there without an agenda.
