I was triggered though by the 'voice to the voiceless' quote coz I recently read "Irresistible Revolution" by Shane Claiborne. At some point his churchmembers were announced to be that when they went up to speak somewhere. Shane said: "Something inside me hurt and I gently corrected them. Everyone has a voice. [...] Perhaps we are too quick to assume folks cannot speak for themselves."<br><br>If you read the book of Nelson (do it! :) you can read it online if you want to, it's free! <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=beRL3schM0kC&lpg=PP1&ots=64VAYg42EP&dq=nelson%2520%2520mandela%2520%2522struggle%2520is%2520my%2520life%2522&hl=nl&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=&f=false" rel="nofollow">http://books.google.com/books?id=beRL3schM0kC&l...</a> ) you can see that Nelson, along with others were a catalyst in a proces that encouraged those that dared not to speak up to stand and speak up against injustice. It often takes someone to make others realize they do have a voice. And that means being with them, living with those that keep their voice silent. Like Jesus did when he came to earth. Not staying in heaven to be the voice to the voiceless but joining us here to make us realize we are the ones that need to speak up and stand tall.

That is why in my line of work I want to be with the teenagers and encourage them to be speakers. To ask questions about life, injustice, church etc…

Great pictures by the way! Are you also gonna speak at the youthworkersconference in the UK?
