PERSONAL STORIES AND OPINIONS
Renata Rokůsková, Czech Republic
I watched the news on TV one day in 1994. It was a normal evening. I sat on the couch and ate chips. There were pictures from a conflict in Rwanda on the screen. Several seconds that touched me deeply. I felt a great need to do something for those desperate people. But then I tried to push away those thoughts by being rational, “I can’t do anything for them,” “it’s so far away,” “it’s not really my problem.” But I couldn’t do it. Something began to grow in my heart and from that point I knew that sometime in the future I would be called to help poor people.
