The most heart-breaking part about traveling that moved and traumatized me, is meeting the have-not children. This is where I have inherited my Mother’s caring gene. They are destitute and condemned to poverty and all the horrible trappings that come with poverty, drugs, criminality, un-education, prostitution, self-deprecation (which is absolutely beneath lack-of-confidence as one would put it), etc…
How can I change this? I donate with my own resources. I donate where it needs the most. The children are hungry. If I can donate a box of noodle, that for one week, the poverty-stricken kids will not head to bed with the empty growling stomachs, then that would be a day worth living for. Lack of education – If I can donate a pencil and a booklet, with these essentials, I hope will stoke the fire in these children to doodle something imaginary, fantastic that will affirm how special and gifted they are. Eventually, they can triumph over poverty.
