It was good for me, though a bit difficult at times when food was low. We never actually ran out though. Anyway, something like that changes the way you view everything. I do have a sponsored child in Bolivia, and my sophomores and I collectively sponsor a child in Thailand. We are assured that they get at least one good meal a day.Lilibethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031218249072893776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210458456325604680.post-52274949189119759492011-02-20T15:45:43.818-06:002011-02-20T15:45:43.818-06:00It is not hard to help.
