Today:
- Been a week since I returned from OS. Still feels like my mind is in a far off land... I hope it comes back soon.
Can't stop thinking about the kids in Nusa Penida. Such simple things we did made a lifetime impact in their worlds. Like providing a child with crutches (for only $35) so he had something to stabilize his walking at school. At the age of 15 he has never been at school because he simply "couldn't walk". Another girl, an orphan, has never gone to school because she doesn't have a uniform. In order to go to school you HAVE to have an uniform. Why on earth on such a small disadvantaged island you would have such a rule is one I cannot understand. Regardless though- $14 or so got her a uniform and now she has access to an education. Such simple things.
I think it's soo unfair that if these kids were born in Australia there lives would be completely different. Why should location determine simple things like education? I know that there's many different debatable reasons and complications, but whatever they are...I still think it sucks!
Little ones in Nusa Penida- I hope you sleep well tonight. Im thinking of you xox
