I usually don't stop to read long posts, but yours kept my interest and even after I was interrupted, I came back to finish reading it. <BR/><BR/>I feel so fortunate to be an American and can't imagine the poverty people in other parts of the world have to live in. I sponsor to children through Children International and contribute to The Jesus Film Project as well which takes the Jesus Film to remote areas around the world. <BR/><BR/>I also am disturbed by the many homeless people even here in the United States so also contribute to Boys Town, The Covenant House, and The City Mission on a regular basis. <BR/><BR/>I am so thankful for all God has given to me and feel very fortunate!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714973279944138756.post-71798676008903664462008-11-28T12:53:00.000-08:002008-11-28T12:53:00.000-08:00Great post.

In fact, poverty in the cities is worse, because the divide between the "haves" and the "have-nots" has only been widening over the years. <BR/><BR/>I have similar memories about observing people ridden with poverty back in my city, when I was a student. I remember having observed and made notes in my personal diary about small children going to school on cold winter mornings. With a couple of books stuffed into a tattered bag, and walking with their palms thrust tightly into the pockets of their shorts, the kids used to shiver and tremble as they walked down the cold dusty streets without any footwear or extra layers of clothing. It made a very pitiable sight, and that image has remained etched in my mind ever since. As you rightly said, the kids were too innocent to understand the very essence of their existence, and the circumstances had forced them to "wear the poverty badge"..<BR/><BR/>I came across your blog as I randomly flipped through blogs on entrecard, and dropping my own card. If by chance you have been disillusioned by the way entrecard works in getting you "quality" traffic, let me tell you that it works. You'll get one in thousand readers (like me) who will stop by and subscribe to your blog..<BR/><BR/>Keep writing. I'll keep coming back for more..!Ech Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04922050520189201875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714973279944138756.post-58068534472136999422008-11-03T22:11:00.000-08:002008-11-03T22:11:00.000-08:00I loved this...is this a true story?I feel it is i...I loved this...is this a true story?<BR/><BR/>I feel it is incomplete.
