They look new, not faded at all!<br /><br />Now see, if kids didn't have to wear uniforms to school, but could wear whatever they wanted or had, then they could have all gone to school at once. They have the same uniform thing in India, and by gosh, a kid in a raggedy t shirt will learn the same as a kid in a uniform. It's just not right.<br /><br />That is a lovely family and I know one day you will get back to see them!Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03706844568750488890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-15705513659052137092010-01-25T09:59:03.469-05:002010-01-25T09:59:03.469-05:00These photos remind me of my short time spent on N...These photos remind me of my short time spent on Nevis.

I'll have to look up some of the older ones.<br /><br />I used to show my kids at St. Mary's a video I had of Haiti, made by relief workers to show them how, not <i>some people</i> have to live, but how <i>most</i> of the world has to live. The video was powerful, but it focused on, I think, ugliness.<br /><br />I like these pictures because they show, I think, a more complete humanity. Yes, living conditions are often brutal, and yet people still live and love all the same. Both sides of the story are important.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07584174478393760131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-21745967426512989012010-01-25T08:28:44.624-05:002010-01-25T08:28:44.624-05:00I had no idea you'd lived in Trinidad.
