''Change is in prospect everywhere--and if at this time there is the vision to use this opportunity creaticelyto see a brave new world and to dare to reach for it..''(Ferrer 195) Pg 190-240

Summary:
     As an advocate for UNICEF, her task was to inform others and create awareness for the many starving children. Although she was not an expert in economics or politics, being a mother helped her understand the children's problems. UNICEF tried their best to free children from hunger, repression, and constant violence. UNICEF protected children agsinst famine, thirst, sickness, abuse, and death. The things that threaten mankind, in Audrey's opinion, was the presence/threat of war, deterioration of the enviroment, and poverty. After the trip in Somalia, on the plane ride to Switzerland, there was a risk of death for Audrey, due to the increase of pressure in the air, but she managed to survive that obstacle. When news of her sickness was leaked, paparazzi swarmed their house, even in helicopters. On January 10, Audrey died almost painlessly. She was buried on a plot of land, guaranteed to her forever. On that day, the paparazzi was no where in site, and 25,000 people lined the streets of their small village; a deafening silence echoed the small village.

Quote:
     ''These are not natural disasters, but man-made tragedies, for which there is only one man-made solution--peace.'' (Ferrer 201)

Reaction:
     I chose this quote because it was the one truth that Audrey realized while visiting all the poor countries. She realized that the suffering of many were not due to natural disasters, such as tornados or earthquakes, but man-made disasters, such as war. To recognize the root of the problem, she hoped to stop the violence and promote peace in order to help the children, the future of the world. It shows that Audrey wanted nothing more than to help the children; to save them from something that the children couldn't protect themselves against.
