Think your life stinks?

Next time you're sitting around thinking about how bad your life is I, want you to think about something- you didn't leave your home and family, travel several thousand miles away to a war torn country where part of the population would love to cut your head off, the weather is hot and dusty as hell, and you live in a small camp in crowded quarters, just so you can clean PortaJons for 12 hours a day! We have people from Macedonia who have done just that for a couple hundred dollars a month. The crazy thing is that every time you see them, they say hello and are smiling; they do a very good job too. Their English is broken at best, but they try hard to converse and have been very thankful when we've seen them at the clinic.

I'm still mad about the Nepalese getting killed. The ones working on our site are scared and upset about their countrymen. I've been reading where mosque have been torched in Nepal and the government is warning Muslims to stay inside. Blaming their government for not doing enough to try and rescue them is not going to solve anything- the Nepalese government has already forbidden them to work in Iraq, they slip out and do it anyways. Again, we have a people who are willing to risk everything to be able to send money to their families- what does this say about radical Islam and family values?


Hang in the SPK- I've got faith in you in finishing school (even if you're 50 by the time you get done ;) ). Remember, my calculator was as old as some of the other students in my physics class- now that's embarrassing.

Y para mi primo en China, Buenes Dias!
