I was just thinking about when we brought the solar powered lights to Santa Maria de Fatima and the Mayor stood up to speak. He said that they would now be able to peel their corn after dark so that they could increase their productiveness. Think about all the things you do after the sun goes down, these people stop their lives at night. A 45$ light donated to the foundation will make such a big difference to these people.
We are so blessed to live in the USA. Even if you don't have a cell phone, cable tv, or internet, you can have a room lit up to work, clean, read, or just spend time with the ones you love. My children drink clean water from the tap everyday, are vaccinated from disease, and they are educated to their maximum abilities. In our villages every child has parasites from the water and education is really only for the very young.
I hope that everyone can look around them and be thankful for their many comforts and opportunities.
