Traveling this way gives you a deeper understanding of resilient suffering. It's often unseen to many of us who don't recognize or understand it. Thanks for sharing and for inspiring us to be more appreciative with what we have. You constantly amaze us! This was a beautifully written blog, Adam.

As you know, I nearly always have something to say. This piece just leaves me speechless. I am proud to know you. I’ve read and reread this blog several times since early yesterday morning.

You know working with kids here in Encinitas, we see many children that do not do well because they come to school hungry, and/or their home lives are filled with termoil... All these elements affect the way children learn... As always, you are wise beyond your years and open to learning, helping and healing... We also suffer from so much obesity here, that's its hard to image the hunger. Thanks for the reminder...

I've been thinking a lot about how while food is a neccessity, a lot of us don't realize that it's also a privilege. we americans are privileged with the chance to eat more than just three meals a day and leftovers are tossed without a second thought. sometimes we need a reminder of our privilege and this entry served as a reminder.

Upon their return, we asked them to for a report of their experiences. The most noticeable part of their report is what you have just described. They said it was hard for the students to concentrate or learn while hungry all day at school! Tell the officials if they need an intern next summer, to please contact us. Adam,
