Cheri - Thank you so much for sharing. Your photos are so amazing– I felt in some small way I was there too.
Mama B - Thank you for sharing your pictures of Freetown. I was there January 25th thru February 6th with a team of dear friends from my church. We went to serve the Lord AND love on my daughter who is a missionary in Freetown. We share some of the impressions of Freetown but I also saw hope in people. Families working HARD to make a living and educate their children, to improve their conditions and caring for others. I LOVED the Sierra Leone people. They are friendly, warm and open. I got to experience the birthing of a new church in an impoverished neighborhood; hungry for the Word, rejoicing in the Lord and seeking Him. It was humbling and hopeful!
s.t. - I’m from a third-world country & I’ve been/seen more shocking (for lack of a better term) places than you’ve shown. It’s very sad, overwhelming, humbling & much more. The “hardships & struggles” here in America is NOTHING compared to other places in the world! We have SO MUCH to be GRATEFUL for & NOTHING TO BE COMPLAINING ABOUT!
Valley - You make me proud….
I find myself crying and smiling at the same time!!
((((HUGS to you)))))

Juliann H. Beidler - If I didn’t know that these were photos from your trip to Africa…I would think they were from every trip that I have taken to Honduras. This is the way the majority of the world lives…or worse..unfortunately…
julia - I didn’t even notice the man with the coal on his head until I read your notes. Unbelieveable. It’s really good that you have your pictures. It must have been completely overwhelming. Now you can take it all in.
Thank you for sharing these.
