What followed was my first personal encounter with human-made trauma through state violence. I had previously encountered human-made trauma more conceptually – as a 21-year-old college student during a course simply called Trauma. This is a human-made trauma – one we are all responsible for. I often wonder: what would it mean to suffering children if they knew they were cared for by so many people all over the world? I believe that this kind of care can help children suffering, even thousands of miles away.
