Some of the poverty and homeless have pulled on my heart. We spent time at an orphanage and Rotary sponsored village in Petrolina. The children & parents were living on the streets in cardboard boxes and selling trash. I wanted to take this little girl home with me! This was very hard to see.

Hey Les! Glad to see you are having a great time! This post really hit home - seeing such abject poverty in other parts of the world was a life-changing experience for me. It certainly gives you a new perspective on life, doesn't it? It always amazes me to witness the smiles and the warmth of people in such desperate and depressing situations. Keep seeking the genuine human experience!! Miss U!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful little girl. This post made me realize what we really have over here and what they do not. I feel the need to adopt one of these children. I am loving your posts.
