i want to be there! mamazonga!!!!! (mzungu in puerto rican) is great u are seeing this with ur own eyes, not someone telling you and u just imagining. I have some pics of haiti in my feisbuc, with some ideas u can use in ur school. musical instruments are doable, just use ur imagination (percussion is african born). Remember that life is like that for more than half humans, so our standards are just for a few. That makes us the 'out of rule' or not common ones. They live 'happy' with what they have cuz that's what they need and do and know, although things can and most improve a lot. But it was normal, at least for my parents, to see people strugguling to get their kids to school or to find enough to eat, living life at its essence, without the topings we add. Thanks linda for showing us how it is in the rest of the world. bejinhos!
Touched by your stories Monica,
I'm thrilled you were able to get this blog site started. I'm so touched by your stories. They help give me a better idea of how the Ugandan people live, their warm and welcoming spirit despite the challenges they face. You are doing really great work there, and you ARE very special...your kind and caring heart touches those around you. I look forward to reading more stories and seeing more pictures!!! Love, Mom
It is sad that thier situations are so desperate.... what does the organization recommend? They must have some sort of rule/strategy. Because you are right... you can't buy sweets for everyone! Hmmm..... Maybe you could buy a treat for one per day until you leave? I don't know..... that seems tough.
