After reading this, I cannot fathom a world where I can post silly connotations and pictures of my feet in a stream while others don’t know whether or not they will eat today, whether or not they will be mutilated with a machete by a total stranger barging into their home, whether or not they will be forced to watch as their eight year old daughter is gang raped, whether or not they will have somewhere to sleep tonight, whether or not they will even be alive tonight.
Here are some places you can go to educate yourself and help.

go back to the feet in the stream post.
you've re-itterated your point here.
your motivation might have been coming from a different place, but your wisdom is encompassing.
never have guilt for good fortune. cherish it with sincerity. pause once in awhile to send compassion to the world.
and keep on your journey. you've got beautiful spirit, miss tot.
sometimes clarity is internal.
sometimes it's active.
both are good.
Yeah I second that!! But thank you for how spreading the word for those who are less fortunate because of you spreading the world a few more people may get something they need.
Welcome to my daily struggle and the reason why one should never get mad over mundane household misshaps (milk puddle on the couch, broken dish, dog poo on the shoe.) This information must always be a part of one's point of view.
The real question is how old do our children have to be before we let them know such injustice exists?
Cameo: Thank you, your comments always have a way of putting things in perspective for me.
PunkyMom: I wish I could spead more than the word...don't we all? I was really impressd with the interview on CNN last night with Angelina Jolie. Whether or not you agree with her on all points, she definelty puts her efforts and money to worthy causes.
Jenny: I think children should be introduced to the worlds injustices the same whay they should be introduced to sex. A little at a time so it isn't a big, shocking reveal all in one conversation but rather something they have always known existed and have learned more and more about as time passes.
I agree. I don't think kids should grow up completely sheltered, but I guess you have to figure out that balance of what is okay for them to know about without shattering their feeling of being safe in the world.
