What are you going to do about it?





These past 2 weeks have been an adventure, filled with joy, laughter, heartbreak, and challenges. As a team we sat down to debrief over all we had experienced and our hearts ached. Everything we have seen, every child we have touched, or hugged, every place we have been and everything we have done leaves us with the question of; "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?" In Burkina a child's survival rate is 3 out of 5, and 3,000 children are dying every single day because of Malaria alone. When I look into these children's faces I see fear, fear of not knowing where or when they will have their next meal. Where is their hope? What am I going to do about it? What are you going to do about it?
