One day, it will be possible to help more. You sound like you do amazing work helping so many, I admire that a greatly. Must be very rewarding for you. Having travelled, I too feel perplexed by global politics (or is that global religious politics?). It's all fear and power where ever you go. Some countries have no real value for people at all. The UK govt. littered Cambodia with land mines which are still causing death or injury to so many. What I did notice most of all when with those effected, they only want to be given the opportunity not a short term charity hand out, so as to better them selves and others. The opportunity to walk again, read, study to get an education that can change their lives dramatically. They are all the same as you and me, just want independence and a better life. If more westerners did sponsor these children, the minimal costs invested 'will' be priceless in seeing what you have done in helping someone to change for the better. Be well M:) Hey BW,

At age 12, I soaked up Spanish like a sponge. Four years later, I couldn't get the hang of Russian. Japanese at age 40 didn't stick, either. :sad: On the other hand, learning Welsh has always felt like I'm merely being reminded of what the words are. But then again, the language WAS spoken in my childhood church... :smile: Although I swear languages HAVE become harder as I’ve aged. At age 12, I soaked up Spanish like a sponge.

I did not mention the following earlier because I did not want to dampen people's admiration for this kid (Ravi) by drawing attention to negative things. The grandmother has been doing the same thing for over 45 years; and if one goes back to the Hanging Gardens 40 years from now, there is a good chance they will see this kid still doing the same thing. Why? I make some a general statements below; there always are exceptions. An American sees himself as an independent being who is free to define, seek and achieve his own happiness. This knowledge is a precondition for initiative and growth. An Englishman thinks his life belongs to the King; and if he achieves success by his own efforts, that is not good; success is only when something is given to him by the King (such as a knighthood). An Indian doesn't even know that he has a life he can live on this earth -- he sees himself as a pawn of the Gods, with nothing to do on earth except to pray to his God for boons. People living in Bombay can communicate orally in multiple languages from among Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati, Urdu, English, Farsi etc. Indians rarely interact with each other as equals -- in most interactions, one person is the master and the other is the slave, and the language used is that preferred by the master. (A guy might be the master in one interaction and the slave in another -- that's why he would need to be able to converse in multiple languages.) (Speaking of stagnation, I once saw a TV show (maybe by National Geographic) in which they showed places in Africa where people engaged in agriculture using methods of biblical times!)
