2. Out of Africa
The International Rescue Committee did well to pick someone who is a quick study at assessment as well as employing empathy.

Rocketboom showed a speech by Edwards on Thursday. On the show, he told stories of horrors that happened to families. I cannot imagine children being sold as a sex slaves, or mothers watching their sons kill their siblings in order to be accepted in the LRA.

If I were those children, I would smile too to have someone who understood what it means to lose someone and to fight for those in poverty. And I hope the one he tried to get to smile or get a response will see some day that this man may very well be the next president, or at least someone very important...and is fighting for them as much as for us.
