Thank you for posting all of this. It opens our eyes and it will be a great way for you to relive the experience. It does humble you to think of the things that we consider "problems".Booknuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493401454906300380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19844602.post-50554306186377323532011-04-27T07:52:01.448-04:002011-04-27T07:52:01.448-04:00Wow...we often do not realize that our poor would ...Wow...we often do not realize that our poor would be considered "wealthy" in many countires.

Probably not as many as might seem such to our eyes. <br /><br />Priscilla, did you hear about Chagas disease? It is transmitted by the bite of the Vinchuca bug, they like to live in those thatched roofs. Chagas disease attacks the heart and the intestinal system of people who carry it. The illness doesn't catch up with them until they are older adults - but many contract it in childhood from a bite that goes unnoticed.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02301219387023496893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19844602.post-32704617573126816282011-04-25T10:24:05.309-04:002011-04-25T10:24:05.309-04:00We all live in castles here... even if they have l...We all live in castles here... even if they have large lakes in the backyard.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293816902877287168noreply@blogger.com
