| by Luis Lazo Hi, my name is Luis from Laredo, Texas. I have a story of service. I am 20 years old. I can do programs with the computer. I have read alot of books of programming. I plan to become a great Computer Engineer. I was in college in San Antonio in St. Mary's University for one semester and I will continue in College here in Laredo, Texas. I have been serving the homeless 4 years and the sick 2 years. I have hugged homeless persons. I have talked with them. I am looking for someone who could help me make a movie of my own life just like a movie was made of the story of Liz Murray("From Homelessness To Harvard") was converted into a movie. Liz Murray story has to do with overcoming obstacles and my life has to do with reaching out to others even if things are doing bad. I am Catholic but this movie is directed to any youth of any religion because the main point of the movie is Service. I already have the story to make the movie and I wrote it through stages from childhood until today. At my local parish, some people think that I am an inspiration. I don't think that I am an inspiration but if some people think that I am an inspiration then why not make a movie about my life that would benefit all other Youth about Service. I already have an inspirational message. I just need someone to make the movie. Please help me. My email: Steel9561@yahoo.com I have been serving the poor and the sick alone and when you serve alone you suffer more than when you serve with someone else. The Movie will show my service since I started doing service alone until I stop serving alone and started helping the poor and the sick with someone else. I even have the name of the movie: The Service is for Free: The Story of Luis Lazo. That's the name I would put to the movie but I could consider other names as alternatives. At my local parish I gave my testimony and a new ministry has been given to me. I am the founder of Water of Christ Ministry: Youth Ministry where the Waters of Christ spill in blessings on the poor and the sick. I am working with my local parish and I have been helping the homeless with other youth. Thanks in Advance. Sincerely, Luis Lazo Comment on this... | ||||

| by alaa A First-Hand Account of Iraqi Brutality New book tells of author’s experiences in torturous prisons of Saddam Hussein’s Regime CHICAGO-Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq is no more. Although many would like to bury this country’s gruesome past and never look back, many of the victims of the mass graves and the torturous prisons of Iraq desire to have their horrible stories preserved t ensure that the evil they endured is never forgotten-and never repeated. In his new book, The Bitter Time: Scrap of paper smuggled of Iraq’s prisons (now available through 1st books, Amazon, Barnesandnoble, Textbookx…etc), Ala’a Al Jaffar tells his true, personal story of being taken to multiple Iraqi prison in the 1980s and suffering countless acts of violence and inhumanity. Told through the eyes of a young man named Aly, the book the author’s dark experience, which began on a rainy and stormy night when security officers blindfolded him and took him away on a journey into the unknown. He describes the brutal beating, the devilish of a man who boasted of their crimes and the silent camaraderie between the many prisoners who spent time together between rounds of torture. Al Jaffer portrays his experience in starling details, offering events, names, places and atrocities. ”As an Iraqi intellectual (who) witnessed the muzzled mouth period in Iraq, I feel now I can practice my humanity and express myself without fear. It is the time now to plant and nurture a culture of liberty rather then a culture of war,” Al Jaffar writes. The bitter time courageously stresses the inhumane violation of human rights in Iraq. Provocative Iraq’s former dictator. Al jaffar was born and educated in Basra in southern Iraq. A graduate of the university of Basra, he is an accomplished author and researcher. Although the award-winning author of the bitter time, Wars: Causes and Consequences, the Roots of the Shi’is the Generosiy of Morals and Ali: Biography, Al jaffar could not publish his works until he escaped Iraq and fled to Lebanon. He is a former editor manager. Today, he Lives in Chicago with his wife and four children. Call (773-539-5071) ala’a al jaffa Comment on this... |
