I spent August 8-August 17 serving the people of Managua, Nicaragua. My next 10 posts will be somehow related to my experiences.
As I type on my Mac and move the cursor with my wireless mouse, my dogs sleep on my king size bed and my laundry dries in my electric drier. The air in my beachside apartment is kept at a comfortable 72 degrees by my central air conditioning system and I am safely locked inside. I am stuffed from the gigantic hamburger that I recently devoured.
Elsewhere in the world, a person is hungry. She is sweaty, greasy, hungry, tired, broke, depressed, and alone. Her house is made of scraps of wood and metal. There are no doors and insects and wild animals are free to roam her shelter. Blood, sweat, and tears earn her wage of 2 dollars a day.
Now that I have seen I am responsible
Those are the lyrics from a song called Albertine by Brooke Fraser. How true her statement is. I have been burdened and have assumed a responsibility: the world is hurting and I have been blessed beyond belief with resources to help.
