Slum (wed. 24/6/09)

Yesterday was by far the most difficult day for me. We went to a pre-school in a slum. The British founder of the school took us out into the slum to introduce us to the families of some of the children. You know the commercials where the little child is standing there all dirty with shacks crumbling behind him saying "for only a dollar a day..."? Well, that's exactly what it was like. Smelling it, seeing it, touching it, hearing it...that is their reality. It was so difficult to experience...and to think that the beautiful little children in the pre-school LIVE there...

(outta time, but I'll try and come back to this)
