Roses in December 

I admire Jean Donovan for her courage. I know it would be hard to dedicate your life to serving a war torn county. When Ms. Donovan was doing her missionary work, she was in great danger. I think her heart was in a good place but she was foolish for returning after she knew she would die. Problems in El Salvador were out of control. Ordinary citizens and children were brutally harmed. Ms. Donovan worked with orphaned children and refugees. I think her work was much need at that time. The documentary showed her love for the people of El Salvador. She put their lives above her own and made a great difference. It is hard to criticize Jean because I understand her reason to stay. I do not think Ms. Donovan's work would help change the social structure in El Salvador but could make a difference in the lives of refugees. It is very difficult to change social structures through peace. As much as I would like to make a difference in the world, I do not think I would have the strength to do Jean Donovan's work. Jean Donovan helped many people in El Salvador. She did not die in vain.
