That said, I have seen much worse poverty overseas compared to our "poverty" line. That aside - food is a huge gift - especially for those that do not have. It is like water, a necessity of life and it does make you happy to have a full belly...or even one that just does not ache with hunger.<br /><br />Going away to work so you can send back what little money you make is a very real reality for people. In Nepal, it often is going away to the military or a foreign police force.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037544390731217891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-73658658600155371622017-10-31T02:28:02.057-07:002017-10-31T02:28:02.057-07:00Beautiful haiku, and a lovely story.Beautiful haiku, and a lovely story.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01756314170839177900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-50917311923337845362017-10-30T22:14:55.947-07:002017-10-30T22:14:55.947-07:00Meaningful.
