It never fails to surprise me that such vast disparities exist between first world and under-developed countries. Guatemala is no exception with its unsuitable drinking water, hazardous living conditions, severe malnutrition and unfortunate abuse, just to name a few. Yet despite seemingly insurmountable barriers, the children I met this week seemed to gleam of hope through their shinning smiles, glistening eyes and vibrant spirits. My heart goes out to Heidi, Ingrid, Paola and all the other children of Guatemala. You have blessed me more than you will ever know.
