One reason I enjoy being in third world countries is that im contsantly reminded of how good I have it. I visited a school for deaf kids yesterday, as I watched these beautiful kids sign and interact with each other it brought tears to my eyes, not tears of pity but because it was so good to see how strong kids are and how they just move on even in difficulties. Then on my walk to this computer I saw an old lady who apparently was just hit by a car, her head was split wide open. It is sobering to be in a place where the value of life seems to be low because death is such reality. I am spending the next two nights in a home for streets kids, im looking forward to horsin around and probably playin some futbol, and seein what kind of skills these colombian kids have. For their sake I hope they don´t have ping pong.
i love reading your blog skip! it brings me back to reality! we just dont realize how blessed we are. i am so glad you are bringin some love to those kids there. you are amazing!
It’s awesome to hear about your love for the kids. Your passion is very evident. I pray God will continue to bless you with compassion and more love for the kids.
Skip, keep rock’n bro. Your making a huge difference. Thank you for your sacrifice.
Not many people would roll that way. Your the man!
I was surfing with Spike and Hal on sunday and was thinking about you.
God bless
