Welcome little warrior.
Learn at your mama’s breast
to defeat the pain.

With rhythm on your lips
you’ll always return
to this moment, pure
and loved

before the heat from this red earth
burnt into your eyes
and narrowed your view
of paradise under your toes

Remember you are richer
in history and heart

though that won’t fuel
your aching body
it will stoke the fire
in your heart.

*Disclaimer: No heartachingly cute african children were harmed in the making of this photograph.*

Doing my medical elective in Africa did something to me. Something special that cannot be replicated by any amounts of TV, or movies, or poems, or photographs.

Something that everyone needs to see, but so many don't.

Something that people see in the news, sigh, shake their heads, then return to their dinner.

Spread the message. Open your eyes.

I started to sob...I feel every time so ashamed... and I've wondered, how could I help this little guy? By Worldvision, that I know, but I'd like attend where the help is needed, service and help people when I'm sitting in comfy sofa and eating banana. It irritates, that I'm not giving anything back of my luxurious lifestyle, if they'd see me.

Well there are many ways to help, and every little bit helps! Things like UNICEF etc take donations, no matter how little, and even if you just help one person, you're helping THEIR whole world :)
