Today I went to see a brand new baby. 3 days old. Laying in a wool blanket, his skin peeling, flies all around him. The tent that the family lived in was nicer than they had ever lived in before, but it was covered in dirt, flies…the had next to nothing and their clothes were all kept in suit cases. Life for the most part for them was good…but I couldnt help but think, how can peple be ok living in these conditions? Cultures are SO different. Even cultures that live in the same city. I have experienced the weathy side of Mauritania, but not often the poor. The difference, is that those who have little, seem to have everything. They are truely happy and satisfied with the little they have. It is a beautiful thing!!

These pictures say it all. I can’t believe the emotions the image of the chilren evoke in me. The newborn baby, the little child picking bugs from another child’s hair, the mother holding her baby in the middle of two white women. Thanks for posting them. I love you.
