This is the picture of the man that was my husband. It is the face of death. Acen Paska.
(this is just one of the sad stories that I saw)
”Terrified and Terrifying” tells the stories of child soldiers from Afghanistan, Burma, Colombia, Cambodia, Congo, Nepal, Nicaragua, Palestine, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Uganda and Zambia. The Nobel Peace Center wishes to use this exhibition to spotlight what is called the world’s longest hostage drama – the use of children as soldiers.The exhibition presents photographs and films about child soldiers, as well as drawings and paintings made by children who have been child soldiers. The children’s artworks are hard-hitting symbols of the traumas the children still carry with them. Short, gripping stories linked to each picture give the public an even deeper understanding of the everyday life of a child soldier. Unicef estimates that around 300.000 child soldiers are being ruthlessly used in armed conflicts to fight the battles of adults. Children as young as eight years old are put at the front line of violent hostilities. Young girls are abducted and have to perform sexual services for older soldiers. Some children are forced to kill members of their own family as a test of their loyalty to the army.

At the Nobel Peace Center we experience every day children’s strong desire for peace. And we also see that children are exploited in wars in many parts of the world. Using this exhibition, Terrified and Terrifying, we wish to bring the story of child soldiers into the spotlight and focus on what is also known as the world’s worst hostage drama.

How can we contribute to peace?
The Nobel Peace Center wants to contribute to peace - through reflection, debate and involvement. The Center presents the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates and their work, and Alfred Nobel.

Visiting a Laget´s group in Hamar

We went to Hamar with Ludvig to visit one of the Laget´s group. We met many nice and open people. And we could talk with them and get to know more about their work. Ludvig tought about your relationship with God and with other Christians in the fellowship. Me and Suemmey gave a short testemony. It was a week that I was thinking so much about my life and reading the Bible could see how many things God was teaching me about my life. It has been nice to see how God never lost the control in any situation in our lives.
