Yeny And The Children For Peace (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
Yeny and about thirty other kids had gathered in the field to count how many tables they would have, how many jugglers, clowns, musicians, signs, face-painters, and games. The following day, they would meet again to set up a carnival like nothing any of them had ever seen before. Suddenly Celia came running across the field, waving a handful of envelopes. “I have news,” she shouted to the crowd. She stepped up onto her fruit crate. “Look at this! Letters! The grupos armados wrote back.” Yeny looked at the huge grin on Celia’s face, and knew at once what the groups had said. “They said yes! They’re going to respect our election,” Yeny cheered. “They won’t do anything to stop us.” She couldn’t believe her idea had worked. “Isn’t it amazing?” Celia asked. “Every one of them said the same thing—they have children of their own, and they say they don’t want to tear the country apart. Our elections tomorrow will be safe here, and throughout Colombia.” Yeny could hardly wait to tell her parents the news.
