I have a feeling this blog entry will be no different:)<br /><br />My biggest struggle with criticizing and pointing fingers at NGOs is that they are doing something, which most days is more than I can say. And then to think that people all around the world are out there waiting for us to wake up and start walking God's talk...I don't know...I guess I just have at least a little respect (if not a lot) for those people (NGO or not) that are out in the world trying to make it better in the best way they know how. I would love to hear more of your thoughts and notes from your meetings with various people in Africa. My biggest fear was going to Africa and then coming back and living life as usual. I think about the kiddos from Upendo and the stories you shared from your time volunteering at KIWAKUKI and everyone else around the world living in situations I can't even begin to understand, but thinking about it doesn't change anything. I want to do something! If you have any ideas or suggestions on ways to get involved, I would love to hear them sometime!<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing! I feel like all of your blogs give us just another glimpse at your heart! I love it!:) Thinking about you and praying for you all the time.<br /><br />Jenny HunterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3618248278947063472.post-30098017632358022632012-03-18T10:03:39.132-05:002012-03-18T10:03:39.132-05:00Beautifully written and thought provoking Becky. ...Beautifully written and thought provoking Becky.

I do think ...A good read here this morning, Becks! I do think it is hard sometimes to know where to draw the line-which side to step on-when is enough enough... It is hard when a person is so removed from the reality of it all to know what really happens in the trenches. We see the best of the best and the worst of the worst and there is all that "middle stuff" that happens that leaves us clueless.<br /><br />It is easier sometimes to just throw the money at a project rather than to dig into the guts of it and demand to know how the money is being spent. It eases our consciences to think that we have "helped" someone without ever lifting a finger except to sign a check.<br /><br />I don't think I could do what you do-live there seeing all the injustices- knowing that there are some people that will NEVER be helped because there just isn't enough money, or time,or interest to save them. You are braver than I am.<br /><br />Bless you and I hope you have a wonderful Sunday. ps- I think the gang might have saved you a green beer or two from yesterday.
