Honey badger don't give a ****

You think you've seen enough of he world to merely understand that others have hardships incomprehensible to you; a lifestyle impossible to imagine living. Then you go somewhere new, and reality sinks in again, even further than ever before. I'll never understand what it'sike to truly live the lifestyle I just witnessed. Today, we went to visit a family three hours outside the cities in need of groceries and medicine. They have seven kids, and the grandparents live there too. The parents were at the hospital having baby seven, but the grandparents and other children were there. The grandmother was so excited and grateful for the donations. She talked our ears off; I only wish I knew what she was saying. She let us into their house - a two room shack - a room for sleeping and a room for cooking and worshiping. All eleven family members sleep in the same room between three twin beds. Thy heat water on a stove of lesser value than my camping stove. They bake bread, weave wool, and clean laundry outside. David, the 6 year old has epilepsy, and we gave him the medicine to last a month. The government gives the family a pension, but it only amounts to $60 US - not near enough to cover the family's needs. What bothers me about today is that my biggest concern prior to meeting this family was the fact my feet were swollen, and my sandals weren't fitting correctly. Talk about having a first world problem. Seeing families like I saw today truly puts life in perspective as to how blessed we truly are.
