Satyin Alive At Age 5
I was in the community the other day and I came across a couple of kids and it broke me. As I was driving down this dirt rode I saw a couple of little people walking down the rode with something on there heads. As I got closer I realized that it was just kids carrying wood on there heads. I stoped and talkled to them and found out that they where carrying this wood for them to cook food for the night. I asked how old they where they said 5. I thought to myself a 5 year old that has to find wood then gather it and then carry it for how ever far. Then when they get home they have to build a fire and prepare the food for the night. Man it messed me up. Having trouble posting pics will do though.

We just did a Child Survival fundraiser a couple of weeks ago and the theme was..."Want to live to 100...how about 5?" During the night the stats on how big a difference it is for child survival in Africa compared to here. It was very eye opening and praise God that $20K was raised for a child survival program we are going to work with in Burundi through World Relief. We leave on May 11 and will be in Burundi until May 25th.
