STOP ACID ATTACKS!

Today we were given the opportunity go visit a cafe run by acid-attack survivors and I'm not going to lie I cried. Acid attacks were common in India and often used as an act of terror or as a punishment. It's a terrible vile act that should be punished severely. Literally the acid melts the skin off your body leaving you with intense pain and burns that can never really heal. We saw women in their 50s to young teens who were victims of an acid attack and the cafe was refuge for them and a way to raise awareness. One of the cool things about the cafe is that there are no prices for food, you pay what you can and it goes straight to charities that support acid victims. These women really inspired me, because even though they have been through so much they still are joyful and living out there lives to the fullest. I've never been more thankful for U.S laws that require a license to buy certain products and weapons. Terror is definitely still in the U.S but we try everyday to stop terrorism and the loss of life.
