Honduras Trip Photos :: How can we learn from them?
We have it so good in America. We take so many things for granted, like running and clean water, endless supply of food at our finger tips, cover and air conditioning for when it’s too hot and shelter and heat for when it’s too cold. As you’ll see, in the pics that I took below on my trip in 2008 to Honduras, the people are beautiful and the colors are amazing. However these people are living in sheer poverty, hungry and living in mud huts with dirt floors and swimming and bathing in contaminated rivers and drinking unclean water, yet they still smile and play like our kids do. The things that these children hold stock in are not toys and netflix movies like my kids do, but fun games and family time. These are what these children are all about, because there aren’t as many, if any, toys and definitely not any kid show options on netflix. I’m sure that we can learn a lot through these people. You should get involved in their lives.
Enjoy my pics of my adventure in Honduras!

I think it's important to note that our poor people still have it better than the rich people in some countries. If you have a car, a house, a tv and air conditioning, you are not poor. You may be struggling to make ends meet, but you aren't starving and you aren't poor.
Put some emphasis on your needs and not your wants and you can make it.

I hear ya! Don't hear me say that people down the road don't need help, but I agree that 3rd world countries are definitely lacking in the opportunity we have when we're down. Thanks for the comment.
