This week I got the opportunity to work in an area which most people have never even heard of....and those who have heard of it know it as the area where most of the robbers come from. What I saw is not easily described in words but I will try.
Imagine a world of abject poverty, a world without proper buildings, no roads, no sewage system and no basic utilities. This is a world where the locals use the most basic of things to stay happy, they don't know most of the things we take for granted and are living their lives the best they can with the absence of any luxuries of life. Little kids run around on the road (more like a gap between shanty buildings with swereage in the middle) playing with stones.
Having seen such abject poverty and miserable living conditions, one is forced to rethink priorities in life.....things that seemed so very important and necessary now seem to be irrelevant. One thanks God for all his blessings and for being born into a world that knows luxuries and comfort. One also says a prayer for these people every day.
