Forgive Me

I have done a terrible job at posting. If anyone actually reads this, please forgive me. I will make a serious effort to write more often.

Huancayo is amazing. Everday is different. I work in the mornings at a school for childen who cannot afford the supplies to go to public school. It is truly humbling. Today, just as I was beginning to become immune to the poverty the children live in, I was humbled yet again. Paola the other professor, and I were measuring the height of the children. One by one I took off their shoes only to see that most children were wearing no socks, socks with holes, or shoes that were to big or to small for them. I could not help but to think that the majority of the world lives in these conditions. It is truly heartbreaking.

In all honestly, some days I feel like I am doing nothing; Like I am not making any difference. It is frsutrating, but I realize that on these days I need to listen to my heart(something that I have grown accustom to not doing) and realize that I am here for a reason bigger than my own feelings. Each day holds a "magic moment" when I have a chance to make a difference for somebody or something. Whether it small or big, I cannot let these moments pass me by.

Thank you to everyone who is helping raise money for the school. You truly are blessing to these children. You dont have to fly across the world to make a difference. Thank you again.
