They need a real person if only for a short while.

We do accept donations for the orphanage where Lee is serving. They can be made online here: http://amizade.org/store/donations.html by clicking "Bolivia's Millennium Cradle House." Many, many thanks to anyone who chooses to donate to support the children at the orphanage.Eric Hartmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00417905975550672536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988299562536912229.post-79959141695845247812010-02-02T23:15:05.447-08:002010-02-02T23:15:05.447-08:00Ah..Lee, you warm my heart with your writing.

It's difficult sometimes to comprehend when you've come from such a different environment. Take care. Looking forward to the next post and pictures -- love the ones today.<br /><br />SylviaSylvia Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484577678585907669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3988299562536912229.post-19069477276945835842010-02-02T10:50:24.788-08:002010-02-02T10:50:24.788-08:00It's almost inevitable that you would go on ov...It's almost inevitable that you would go on overload and act mechanically under the circumstances you describe, but it's to your credit that <i>at least</i> you were able to do that! I probably wouldn't have handled the situation nearly as well. I imagine I would have frozen up and become paralyzed...an unfortunate tendency I have when I become overwhelmed.<br /><br />This post is pretty overwhelming in itself. Right now I'm connecting it in my mind with another of your recent posts about all the unfinished houses and apartment buildings you've seen on your travels. There seems to be a regrettable tendency on the part of both government agencies and private charities to <i>start</i> projects with great fanfare and even a reasonable amount of funding--enough to start the project anyway--but then not to follow through. What is most needed, of course, is a serious commitment for the long haul.Rakshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280365011937595321noreply@blogger.com
