It was a slow understanding that the lack of education in a country like Somalia creates these huge social problems.
From Amanda Lindhout
I think that I find a lot of my healing out in the world.
The same men who are placing all these outrageous restrictions on women's freedoms in southern Somalia - that type of mentality - that's what I had to deal with in captivity.
It's difficult to put into words what freedom feels like. You only know what freedom feels like if you know what it feels like to not be free.
I must try desperately to absorb all information I can about the Middle East. I want to excel. I want to speak articulately about the politics of the Middle East and its religion.
I don't only long for the thrill of being in the middle of a war, I must understand it; I must make other people understand.
I'm not afraid of IED's, bullets, mortars.
What a woman is taught, she shares with her family.
Hamdi Ulukaya and Chobani have made the decision to feed 250,000 victims of the Somali famine. Their compassion speaks for itself, and is a shining example of how the business community can have an enormous positive impact on the world.
With awareness come responsibility and choice.
