"I don't know if you know this story. You know, when I go to a hospital I ask for who is suffering the most and last February I did it in Ecuador and they led me to the room of this 5-year old girl Valesca. Her story is that she war raped 2 months before and since that time had not opened her mouth in any way. Not to speak, cry or eat. She was starving to death. The NG-tube you see (on the photo) did not work and the next day they were planing an abdominal operation to make a window into her stomach to feed her. I stayed an hour and I was stunned. She had the saddest face I ever remember (and I've seen many sad ones). In the entire hour I saw NO light in her eyes- no expression. For 20 minutes I just held and stared- stunned, the 2nd 20 minutes she let me hold er hand and the last third I lay on the floor and she fell asleep. Never did I see any life in her face. I thought nothing had happened. I was so fixed on her I didn't see 15-20 staff wacht from the sideline- who were so taken by "what happened" that they canceled the operation. I wondered what they had done for those 2 months? I had to return the next day and spend another hour with her and it was the same- no facial life. We left Ecuador, but contacts kept track of her and two days later she was running up to people, hugging them, and a week later she was home playing, eating and back at school. Below is a photo of her 3 months later- I don't even recognize her."
