building

Yesterday we spent the day building a orphans home. It is amazing how they use the all the resources they have to build. They use the land/mud for cement, grass for fiber, and all the tools we used are done by hand. It is incredible.

There is so much I can't wait to tell you. Rawanda is a very unique place. Aside from the devestation of the poverty, the joy that is in the lives of these people is huge. I have never seen life lived quite like this. In all my years along the Mexico border, I thought that I would have a good handle on what to expect here. What I have seen has been so much bigger than I even understand. What we did here was only a minor drop in a very small bucket. It is hard to know that we will walk away and there is still so much more to be done.

If you ever have the opportunity to be outside your box and journey to another culture I highly recommend it. Whether it is a community down the road, in another state, or outside the country, please don't pass up the oportunity to serve others. As far as Rawanda, Ben and Melody are amazing people to know. They have been incredible hosts and showed us things that we wouldn't see with all organizations. Please take time to visit globalfamilyrescue.org and see the things they are doing.

Until next time...
