Wow, I love how you ended that you need to know your names. It's a reminder that I don't know their names either. And as much as it is good that so many care, we shouldn't lose sight of their individual humanness.

Thank you. Yeah, the story behind the statistics is always important.

[unmowngrass]

Thank you, on all counts.

I still can't get over how horrifying this kidnapping is and I hope that the girls are returned. #BringBackOurGirls

[unmowngrass]

Aye. Can't come soon enough.

I really liked the ending on this, and the simplicity is so powerful. I have such a hard time deciding what to care about out of all the human misery, and this is a tough one.

Thank you. That's a really good point, there's so much... and a narrow focus per person is probably more effective in the long run...

I liked the ending of this, because to know their names is to bear witness to what has happened to each of them, as individuals, when their country and the world is already spinning onward. Such a sad situation. :(
