I feel like I’m constantly carrying this crushing weight everywhere I go… I witness, or am confronted by, true kindness and true honest selflessness…. there are so many people here with a simple pure heart of giving and caring about other people…

During the 2 and a half hour bus ride to El-Jadida, everyone practically climbed over each other to drop change in a blind beggar’s hand as he walked the aisle with his blind man’s cane. The boy sitting next to me then jumped off the bus at one of the roadside stops, and came back with his lunch… a banana, an apple, a sandwich… he started cutting into it with his trusty pocket knife… using the only 3 words he knew in English, he insisted I take half of everything and I ate with him for the rest of the ride… what probably cost him half his day’s wage, he joyfully fed me and kept checking on me to make sure everything was alright…

I tried to think of something to share back, I gave him a “whisp” toothbrush… so strange and alien to him, made him smile hard with great curiosity and intrigue as he spent the next 20 minutes with that thing in his mouth…
