if everything i have is from God...

the combined family income here is about $315 cdn a month. this feeds and clothes 9 people and educates 6 boys still remaining at home. 3 others have already left. and if you look at the cluster of shacks down the road that people live in... women and children with no means of support... no welfare, no medical... i have spent 3 weeks worth of milk just at the internet today...

i gotta tell ya - i really struggle with the vast gulf between the haves and the have nots.

i've seen the dirt floor, bamboo wall shacks the poor live in. and in february i snuck into a 5 star resort that the rich stay in at the beach. i know it's everywhere but it's sickening.
