Still here and its still an incredible journey!

Since my last blog we have been to hell and back....we have seen poverty at its height.We have visited two "barrios" one Dom.Rep and one Haitian. I don't even know how to process it into the blog...I have lots of pictures but I am not sure they can tell a true story of what we are seeing...without the smells, the heat, the sounds, the defensive glances of the adults and, the eyes and hands of the kids seeking your attention; simply put, this is stuff you think might exist but you prefer to think it doesn't...and the difference b/w here and the US; the government here doesn't have a process, or a system, or anything in place to advocate for these kids..there's no CPS here..the lice, the stench, the heat, the shacks they live in....these kids are on their own... except where Kids Alive steps in to help.
