At the National Library, a very special moment took place, connected to a global awareness initiative. Ms. Claudia Daher Ponson began writing her book Revolutionary Army of Teens R.A.T.S. in 2013, but over the years, it became a long process. She explains that she started writing because she noticed how young people increasingly immerse themselves in phones and television, being distracted from real values like family, respect, and nature.
The book was written, then edited, and after COVID was completely revised. Claudia sent it to Kevin Anderson in New York, which allowed her to secure an editor associated with Angelina Jolie to work on the book. Once completed, the book returned to Aruba. Due to personal circumstances, Claudia had to temporarily pause the process, but eventually sent the book to London and the US to see if there was interest. Two months later, she received news that her book had been selected out of thousands for global publication, available on Amazon. This was a moment of immense joy for Claudia.
Claudia believes the book was released at the right time. It tells of global youth uniting to fight against forces that threaten the world, including alien forces attacking children and teens across all religions, races, and social backgrounds. The book also highlights that humanity has previously harmed the world through an obsession with technology and neglect of God, but now is the time to work together to protect the planet.
Upon completing her book, Claudia was invited to Rome to attend Nostra Aetate, commemorating 60 years since Pope Paul VI signed the historic document promoting peace among religions and preventing wars like World War II. Claudia had the privilege of personally presenting her book to Pope Leo XIV and participating in the ceremony with archbishops, cardinals, and rabbis, renewing their commitment to work for a world without war, hunger, or sorrow.
