What could be as moving and as dramatic as a #ThaiCaveRescue? What about showing that same love and determination to move heaven and earth for kids escaping their caves of violence in Central America? A plea for the children of God...everywhere.

The world shows its love to kids in a Thai cave. We need that same love for kids at the border |...
They were hungry, they were bruised, they missed their parents...and yet somehow they made it. That's true of those Thai soccer players whose rescue riveted the world, but it's also true of thousands...

Like you, I'm thrilled about the Thai rescue going on now. Utilizing technology and expertise, and with a singular focus, they are reuniting these families.
So, what's our problem here?

Hope this rescue operation shows some people in my country how much better it is if you actually give a shit about other people, even "foreigners," value educated and trained experts and work together instead of only looking out for people who look like you. #ThaiCaveRescue

I do not know why I did not put it together with the thousands of children he has torn away from their parents here. I am lucky this website is up and running.
