Having an opportunity of a lifetime to be traveling to India with my
daughter and Mom handing out bedkits to children who are less
fortunate. Today we were at a school just outside Mumbai where we handed
out 400 bedkits. My mom and I interviewed parents of 7 children who
were to receive the bedkits. Not one of these families had a bed in
their house or a mosquito net . To hear how grateful they were for not
only the bedkit but for the fact that we would travel half half way
around the world to do this work was extremely humbling. Mom asked them
what was their dream for their children and all dreamed that their
children could go to University so they could end the cycle of poverty.
But all knew that it would never happen as they couldn't afford it. If I
had the money in my pocket I would have given them enough right then. It
was very sad to see they had hopes and dreams that most likely would
never be fulfilled. They did say that they were inspired by us and that
has given them a lot of hope. This trip has been a real eye opener to
see how far India has come but just how far they have left to go to
enable their people to realize their dreams. The lasting reward for me
is to see a 87 year old lady who can barely see come alive like a 60
year old..JPG)
