We have recently read about a disease that is spreading among the people of Haiti called Cholera. Many of you were deeply moved to know that the people of Haiti were still living in such bad conditions and were also infected with a disease. Learning about other parts of the world and how they are living not only makes us appreciate what we have but also creates in us a heart that wants to help others.
As we continue to learn about others around the world, I hope to see your focus and attitude change about your life and the lives of others.
