Bee, yes, that's South America! Good eye, you maven of geography! :-) Overwhelming? Absolutely. That's why I prefer to look at the grass-roots level of things. It reminds me that on a personal basis, there is so much we can do. The change, indeed, begins with the face in the mirror.
Julie, how wonderful to see you again! I agree; suffering children pull on my heartstrings more than almost any other image. Maybe it's because they are the most vulnerable part of our society. Yet, I have to believe there is hope, and it begins with each one of us. :-)

I hope we can clean all of the messes up, P. It feels so overwhelming.

You have the heart that really cares:-)
