We Are Everywhere

I was surprised to walk in today to find a visitor. Her name is Rena Roberman and she is from Israel. Immediately I began to think about how international our community really is. Her son is a speller, and is able to spell in Hebrew.  It’s weird but…I never thought about spelling in other alphabets. It suddenly occurs to me that there are spellers in every country who are in the same situation as us. That makes me incredibly sad:  there are so many of us. Too many. All over the world, people are suffering in silence. It’s unbearable to think about it. 

It makes me realize just how lucky I am. I have to help them to find their way to freedom. But I don’t know how.
