Possibility in Education

The day before a little school I visited had kids outside the windows pressing to be included. You will not believe the conditions in which these kids survive. Hard to take it all in its beautiful and devasting at the same time. I do believe education is the only hope we have for a real shift in this crisis. I have been getting portraits bios and doing needs analysis along the way. That part is really easy they need everything, water, food clothing love a place to sleep. They have great songs, unbelievable smiles and eyes that will melt any heart. You can't believe this situation is really happening. 5 year old kids walking in boiling sun with 5 gallon pails of dirty drinking water on their heads. After a few thousand of these sightings I am left with nothing but a prayer during the nights I lay wide eyed under the stars of the Serengeti night. The lions call gods attention outside the tent and I am sure I have been heard. As vast as the plains these populations thrive against every possible odd and you wonder why and how and to what end this mayham will come to. What is the right action? To observe bewildered, to know one name and carry it to health, to add grains of rice to millions of empty plates. Dusk has come, I'm out of malaria meds so am going to crawl under my mosquito net and think about it.
