Ananda: Hey everybody. I'm about to rush off to do some volunteer work, but I wanted to make this first. This piece of art is about something that's very serious to me. There are so many things going on in the world today, that I just- I wish they wouldn't happen. Parents beating their own children. Husbands beating wives. Children being kidnapped. Young women being raped. A girl can't even walk outside her home anymore, without having to be afraid. People killing each other, cutting each other's (inaudible) off. It's awful. (Artwork appears on the screen.) This piece of artwork basically contains my message, to all of it. Stop. Stop and think. Just stop. If you feel like you need to hurt someone, stop. If you feel like you need to do something wrong, stop. (Cut back to Ananda) I wish I could stop it all. I wish I could just, come in and make sure that no children had to ever worry about not being safe, especially in their own homes. I do what I can with this volunteer work, but I know that every day, there are children (pause) I just want them to be safe. What are you doing to stop it? Are you stopping to think? Are you making your voice heard? Stop, and take the time to help the children who can't help themselves.
