Trying to continue where I left off...
There are some things that are really beginning to impact me about this place, in particular all those people you see with cerebral palsy - There is an old lady who hangs out just inside the slum each morning who is heavily effected (affected?), her face lights up every time she sees us and I have a feeling that her day to day existance is sitting by the side of the road waiting for anyone to give her some attention... Then there is a young girl 9 or 10 years old who has the same sort of cerebal palsy that I was born with - afecting the right side of her body - and I can't help to think how random life seems to be - or how little human logic there is to God's greater plans - allowing someone like me to have all the care and attention that the western world (& christian worldview) has to offer - yet this girl lives in a slum and essentially has no real chance of getting out - the buddhist world view and the idea of karma if nothing else insure a life of living in the slum...
I'm being called away sorry guys
