In a total role reversal, this father takes care of his five children after his wife left him and deserted her family. He met us as we were walking from the West to the East side of the island. We put up mosquito nets over all the beds in the house.
A mother to whom we gave a mosquito net.
I think I wrote about this, but in this village there were posters up in so many of the houses that we went to. I asked the chairperson who was showing us around and he said that they there is a person in the village who is trained in teaching and has been teaching the adults in the village English. I told him how wonderful that was and he was very proud.
My friend who waited outside every house we went into so that he could hold my hand as we walked to the next house.

Love the website and your always inspiring pictures.
Seems like you have made a 'mission' for yourself.
I'm sure being around such poverty and living conditions is a paradigm shifting experience.
Keep it up:=)
what I love about reading ur stuff is that you always give the situation, your comment and their response... It's just like talking to you. Reversing that...if you were an author when I met you I would feel like I've always known you. Again so so proud of you ur doing amazing things!
