http://www.geog.umd.edu/academic/undergrad/harper/Berrios.pdf) Getting back to why I'm writing this. Donde had a incredible "once in most life times" experiance, experiancing the really impovirshed of this world "The People of Los Guido". Since he was here, not much has really changed, accept more refugees, more crime, more addictions and prostitution!! What has and is changing, is the children's out look on there immedeite lifes and future through the efforts of missionaries from all over the world, reaching out to thies almost forgotten children and families through the love of Jesus Christ. "God is are Father" is one of the first English sentence they learn. "which is true unless you beleive your ancestors came from an ape, which make you and monkeys uncle" Sorry..couldn't help it. And yes, I tell the children that, and they laugh.
The main reason I became a missionary was to help childen have a chance in life, and it starts with love and trust. I am a trusted friend and acting father at times to 30 or 50 children. There are no conditions accept , Love one another as you would have others love you!
Most get it!
In his letter above, Dondei said: I would tell those visit-Americans (who are now enjoying hot showers daily) that their efforts weren't fruitless, and that I think the cheesey stuff they distributed represented to a few kids that someone outside the world of their barrio gave a damn, even if for one day. (or two years, it's all relative.
Dondei figured it out. I hope you who are reading this, do to, before more children are forgotten.
