To whom this may concern,
To the owner of this blog:
I cannot put into words how pleased, satisfied and contented I am for seeing that people actually care about closing Guantanamo’s base. Indeed, much has been achieved. However, a lot more is due to come and in our fight for freedom, hope and liberty one can never quit, one can never lose faith: for the matter in our hands is human lifes: simply, and yet intricate.
I am also sad because I am a Brazilian teenager and so I cannot take part in these actions around the world, but you guys who do it are really my one and only sorce of inspiration, thank you for being you.
I hope someday, after I graduate from college, I am able to work for UN and make a difference, no matter how little, on this big world of ours. Thank you for your attention and keep up with the good work!
