The Poorest Of the Poor



It's a horrible picture, but if you pay attention, you can tell that this area should be a beautiful, lush place...hints of green are all that's left.



These babies are so brave...The story of Africa is heartbreaking, and this is some of the worst.



Few nations have had a longer history of abject poverty than Haiti...I have a friend working there right now, and the stories she tells would blow your mind. Yes, some people do eat mud.

I hope these made you miserable to watch...if you want to do something, check out:

Wow, sounds like you have quite an amazing story! I've moved around quite a bit as well, but i've also had many many cultural dilemmas of "where do i belong", etc. Sounds like you're really finding your voice though and using it for the good of the world! Kudos! :)

P.S. I really like the picture in your header.

P.P.S. I found you through blogging women. Woo, blogging women unite! :)
