When I was in India meditating with some Enlightened monks, I received an inner vision of African children who seemed to be without adults, without a village, to care for or love them. I was told that I would go to help these children...But how? And who exactly were they? When I returned to the United States, I was following a bread trail of clues as to who these children were. One night I was awakened by the children crying in the night. I could see their beautiful faces in despair. They felt alone and forsaken and abandoned. I began to cry and cry and that's when I heard inside of me the word "Senegal." So that was where I must go! But who were these children exactly? About a month later I was watching the movie Blood Diamond and it so deeply touched me that I felt raw inside. I was immediately inspired to inquire more deeply into who these children were to whom I was being called. I began to dose off as I was starting a search on the internet, and I heard clear as day "March of 100" in my head. So, I typed in "March of 100, Senegal" and up popped an article about a march of 100 humanitarians that had taken place in Dakar, Senegal on April 20, 2007 to raise awareness about the street kids there. In fact it was called the "March of 100". Then I knew beyond a doubt that these were the children that were calling to me in my meditations and dreams. They are street kids, homeless, abandoned, runaways...and even though I have not yet met any of them in person, I already know that I love them as though they were my very own.
