ASHES | A Study of Juvenile Violence in America - I had assumed that all this death was about gang violence and drug trafficking, but came to quickly realize that living in these neighborhoods, certain laws simply did not apply. It was another country. That violence was senseless, random and vicious. Life moved fast in these communities and each generation was promised more than it would get. Survival and defeat left a furious, bewildered rage in people who could not find solid ground beneath their feet. Children were growing into a stunted maturity, trying desperately to find a place to stand, and many were growing up facing, individually and alone, the unendurable frustration of being always, everywhere inferior. Many of these youth were attempting to shield themselves from an environment and world they found profoundly threatening, and beneath their stony exterior was often inherited disappointment, and the lost dreams of a parent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633711215000-DNU4ITVPGP4Y36SFYWFI/021entrance.jpg ESSAYS - ASHES | A Study of Juvenile Violence in America - Many men were returning from longs stints in prison, having done 20–30 year sentences. The neighborhoods the children grew up amid were tenements, housing projects, torched buildings, and abandoned factories. Role models for these youths were often older friends, sometime gang members, who were a kind of family. These people took the place of fathers they barely knew. These role models have often been adults who use the city and state primarily in terms for different types of welfare checks. The neighborhoods were places where 13-year olds knew by heart the visiting hours at the local prison. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633713235708-FY7YGOEZKVY2QUGH0XB8/IMG_1418.JPG ESSAYS - ASHES | A Study of Juvenile Violence in America - But all were not children of welfare-dependent, drug-abusing underclass. Half had parents or guardians who worked. In fact the majority of killings were the results of robberies or disputes. Race was not as chief as I had assumed. Most single parent families or the aunts and grandparents that raised these kids lived below the poverty line. This was an economic and American problem as well. The weakened bonds of family and the community bonds that had traditionally kept these youths in line appeared to have contributed to the violence in these urban areas. Schools had failed, institutions had failed, church had failed and families were failing. These children were robbed of their childhoods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633714360601-TNPD52Y9ZPHX0ID5YOLQ/048Ovacrying.jpg ESSAYS - ASHES | A Study of Juvenile Violence in America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633706221882-21YLF51VP85OTEFI5VZV/031brelapse.jpg ESSAYS - ASHES | A Study of Juvenile Violence in America - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633713528558-CJH2L8GEEWI0OP1YOJDP/031New+Orelans.jpg ESSAYS - ASHES | A Study of Juvenile Violence in America - The project took me from the streets of Baltimore, to places like Chicago, Boston, Louisiana, New Orleans, Brooklyn, and Harlem. Everywhere I saw the same dramas being played out, dancing in rural communities, on city streets. I saw lost generations, and lost potential. Children lost in these shadows. The violence among the young was going on at a time when a generation of children was born to young women, teenage mothers, coming in neighborhoods weakened by unemployment, poverty, the addictive lure of a thriving underground economy, with the destructive force of gangs and drugs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633714538664-YXGOXM13ARS3ET3Y61JN/022meditation.jpg ESSAYS - ASHES | A Study of Juvenile Violence in America - Most recently I have spent time with alternative programs like Street-squash and Friends of Island Academy where I have witnessed transformation and growth. I have walked the streets with men fresh from jail with the hunger for a new life on their breath. I have sat beside people, teachers, guides, healers whose open hearts make space for these young facing innumerable challenges in their painful lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633712584282-OBA3OJVP2WX89G9IRC5H/066deathmask.jpg ESSAYS - ASHES | A Study of Juvenile Violence in America - The most common assumption on these streets was that there was no future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/cc6fc3f7-7e0b-455b-8f8e-cb23c4e93e3b/015Roses.jpg ESSAYS - ASHES | A Study of Juvenile Violence in America - “Kids killing kids is nothing new” I took the story idea to the editors of my newspaper who said: “Kids killing kids is nothing new” – and the apathy pushed me, pushed inside me and woke up my own inner child. I began simply by scouring over the newspaper daily for instances of youths being involved in violence of any sort. Shooting, stabbings, protests, arrests, drugs dealings, gang activities, deaths. When I found an obituary involving a young person, I would show up at the funeral, or body viewing. Some families wanted no part of me, other looked deeply through their haze of grief and desperation and wanted me there to bear witness to their unbearable pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633711578780-SC6LUU8AES0PPQVJAPGD/019silent+boy.jpg ESSAYS - ASHES | A Study of Juvenile Violence in America By looking into these youth eyes, I was looking at a reflection of myself, and what I could have become. I was looking at my own disempowerment, and my search for light, change and clarity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633711376347-GQKI6A7FAL7ND542N19B/025ocialclub.jpg ESSAYS - ASHES | A Study of Juvenile Violence in America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633709577836-CAF24G6XNK3MWHY1W8U6/067angels.jpg ESSAYS - ASHES | A Study of Juvenile Violence in America - I have examined juvenile violence and traveled to places like the Lakeview Shock Incarceration bootcamp in upstate NY, to various housing projects from Cabrini-Green in Chicago, to Boston's Roxbury streets to the Desire Housing project in New Orleans, and projects in Bedford-Stuyvesant, The Bronx and Baltimore. I have met young mothers who have lost their children, spent immense time with funeral directors who bury the young, ridden with community cops and paramedics from across the country. I have photographed shock trauma wards in Baltimore and Durham, NC and spent time in hospices where the young died of AIDS. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/a8fdb2d9-077a-4979-b2a8-0f6549841b68/Martin+and+Malcom.jpg ESSAYS - ASHES | A Study of Juvenile Violence in America - On my journey, there would be occasional glimpses of hope, resilience, of defiance and love, but mostly, invariably I witnessed time and time again the impassive faces, the wasted potential of children and the moral conflict they face. At the time I began the project, I had hoped to shed light on the harsh realities of these children. I wanted to bear witness to their darkness, lost innocence and opportunities. I wanted to honor their lives, to look for answers to the chaos. I thanked god for my life and blessings. I traveled through my own dark night of the soul. Being adopted, I was granted choices, some of these youths never had. In the bright moments I felt witness to the revival of the delivery of promise, faith, trust and hope. Our generation seems condemned to live with guns, but I hope my projects will enhance the understanding of crime and violence by focusing a great deal on programs and people that take children at-risk and show their moral, economic and social struggles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633706307672-LPKJ8SGZK7VQMES4YICF/005brothers.jpg ESSAYS - ASHES | A Study of Juvenile Violence in America - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.andrerlambertson.com/essays/haiti monthly 0.5 2021-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633721424949-AQQP2DJ3GJLKZ1B7DJUD/Haiti+.jpg ESSAYS - HAITI | A Preacher's Story - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633720985782-JSDUGSBPHTV5L96162S0/22.JPG ESSAYS - HAITI | A Preacher's Story - On both occasions when we met he was dressed in formal slacks, proper shoes worn from much use, a dress shirt, sleeves buttoned down. He had his bible in hand. His voice was soft but firm, and he was filled with opinions. I was struck by his conviction that he was still married and would always remain attached to his wife even though they are no longer together. At times, he was impatient with his memory of her, and yet he seemed to hold on to this conviction about her place in his life. When Sainton told his story, it moved with the fluid cadence of a fully realized narrative that reveals the arrival at deep understanding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633721643943-5PTH21H6EXTW7O5USUOI/9H.JPG ESSAYS - HAITI | A Preacher's Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633720896507-FD8GX8YMIPRJFJ6GHSFE/26.JPG ESSAYS - HAITI | A Preacher's Story - Joel Sainton is a tall, lanky man whose smile is a sudden brilliant thing. His eyes reveal the fatigue that must consume him each day, yet it is hard not to see resilience and uncanny faith in those eyes. He enjoys philosophical banter, especially when it comes to questions of theology and faith. He seems like the kind of man who would be happier in a theological college discussing the complexities of the divine. When he was faced with the news that he was HIV positive, he turned to his theological training for a way to cope. Sainton speaks with the calm concern for detail and clarity that we expect from a man who trades in language and in speaking of the word of God. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633721487040-R8JKRDA1F58DZEXRA1PE/IMG_6294.JPG ESSAYS - HAITI | A Preacher's Story - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633720062613-IOXFIRDEEBAOFDV5EUA8/Joe+Sainton.JPG ESSAYS - HAITI | A Preacher's Story - But he continues to do the work that he believes he has been called to do each day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633721543731-8MS24YYG03KELJ6RS419/IMG_6235.JPG ESSAYS - HAITI | A Preacher's Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633721098409-MFYIS6QQETJ0AIAVL0JX/Joel+Sainton+Haiti.JPG ESSAYS - HAITI | A Preacher's Story - Sainton is a confidant and a constant presence for them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1633720785275-A42UYVCH21ISXGGEX7CF/20.JPG ESSAYS - HAITI | A Preacher's Story - Most of the people I met who were part of the organization had not gone public with the fact that they are HIV positive.

As I write this a 15,000 strong multinational U.N. peacekeeping force – the largest in the world – is deployed throughout the country. Liberians today, like other West African countries, have a challenge to face: to forgive each other, reconcile their differences, and rebuild their nation. Peace in Liberia will help bring peace to the entire region where a borderless war rages in the Ivory Coast and Guinea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1634136915833-H5MKHPACOKTG08UW6RRD/011.jpg ESSAYS - LIBERIA | Child Soldiers Return Home - Now that the war is over, Liberia is profoundly challenged by the necessity to re-integrate into the community a fearsome number of child soldiers, most of whom are uneducated, with few skills other than the use of a gun. They are deeply traumatized by the terrible memories written into their bodies and souls of what they have done and witnessed, memories which not even elders would be able to bear. Empowering and restoring these children so they can find meaningful roles within the peacebuilding process remains one of Liberia’s greatest challenges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1634137447372-7ORWZD0DSRFUSPFE1UKR/023.jpg ESSAYS - LIBERIA | Child Soldiers Return Home The essence of the social change we continually see is a deep renewal of people’s belief in themselves and each other, within the context of their unique cultural resources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1634137083978-OTDS6DUKNWJSPMJ45MXS/02.jpg ESSAYS - LIBERIA | Child Soldiers Return Home - Trading weapons for cameras has proved a powerful catalyst to peacebuilding.

Commonly known as “Khandroma,” she embodies what it means to be a “khandro” or “sky goer.” In Tibetan Buddhism, khandros can be either heavenly beings or earthly women with remarkable spiritual qualities. Unlike many Tibetan women who are humble and soft spoken – often to the point of self-denigration – Khandroma possesses a quiet power. Khandroma wangmo, or "Skydancer," gives assurance and guidance to a family who had recently lost a relative in childbirth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1634144446620-QJQY3YVTJ962T41OULG9/AL0015_sky.jpg ESSAYS - TIBET | Skydancer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f8cf5b9bdec257726771f5/1634144076512-P5S5MMTEFR2RG4E1SGYT/AL0010_sky.jpg ESSAYS - TIBET | Skydancer - Much is known about the powerful male Lamas of spiritual teachers from Tibet.
