Today we participated in a feeding program that Anne and friends regularly have for the children in the slum area where she lives. About 40 or so little kids showed up for a plate of rice and beans served with lots of sauce and a small piece of meat. The 8 year old girls come with the 2 year olds tied on their backs. It is humbling to see these kids devour the food with their hands. No forks or spoons, No complaining about who got more. No picky eaters in this crowd. Every grain of rice and scrap of meat was consumed happily. Then after they finished they all helped out in the back washing the dishes and cleaning up. These kids learn responsibility early in life.
