About Me

In My Words is my blog about things that well i feel like blogging about i spose. Sometimes ill report news issues as well and am currently redoing my blog so hopefully News stuff will be separated shortly from my own Journal blogs.

Ok …. So about Me! I live in Western Sydney, Australia. I love life,  hot bubble baths, my children, music, poetry, writing poetry, africa, children, storm clouds and thunder/lightening, star gazing, activism, journalism, Animals, human rights and using MY VOICE as a voice for those who cannot be heard.

I’m Rebecca, 31 and a mum of 3 fantastic children.  I worked full time as a Personal Assistant/Admin Manager until December 2009. However, i have since finished working to be at home more with my children and to give me more time to actively participate in the Human Rights field and study.  In my spare time i like to hang out with my family and children, watch movies, listen to music, my fave Singer is P!NK and volunteer for  Invisible Children organzation in Australia and am the last standing PRESIDENT of I.C Australasia,  as well as Program Co-Ordinator for African Men’s English Program, at the HARDA Office, i also run a website “Free Uganda”,  Twitter, Blog and study at UWS B. of Social Science Majoring in Peace and Development.

My Fave kind of movies are Documentaries and Thriller/Comedy Movies.  I like to learn and believe that we can never ever know enough about the world.  When i had my goiter (in my throat that crushed my voice box and was choking me to death) removed i vowed to change my life and make a difference in the world.

When beginning my journey into the Invisible Children world i was astonished by people’s ignorance of not only that particular war but of the whole of Africa.  Is an African life not worth as much as mine? Why is this not being publicised? Why does the world media not report on these atrocities? Have we become so de-sensitized by seeing children facing and committing atrocities that we simply let it go on with a blind eye? WHY WHY WHY??? is all i can ask! Without the voices of the Western World, these children will never have a chance.  It is up to us to give the invisible children a voice, a name and a face, as each child whether they be from Sydney, New York or Gulu , whether they be Caucasian, African, Iranian or Afghan they deserve to live life without fear, violence, abductions, torture and war.

The mission is simple: Help Us End A War – The longest running war in Africa.

UPDATE 2012:

This year i started studying my B. Social Science degree at UWS. This has been an amazing experience for me. Something i truly never believed i would have the opportunity to do.

A few last things…

What i’ve researched over the last 3-5 years has left me with an astounding amount of personal knowledge in many different fields. i try to (as best i can) put this information into blogs and the like to help educate others, however, in saying that, im a mum and full time UNI student so i do not have a lot of time on my hands. However, i will def try to update this blog more often with news etc.
