A Sensitive Heart
I have always been interested in missions and charities and my heart is not bent towards a particular kind of need or group of people. By saying that I do not mean that people who pursue particular issues facing our society today are wrong; I think they are doing very well by focusing their energy on one single cause. After all if you want to make an impact with your efforts it would only be possible if you point towards a single direction.
Recently, I had the opportunity to go to India and visited a number of orphanages there. Even though these were called orphanages, in reality they were children homes for children who belong to the poorest of families, which were not able to feed them properly or send them to school. There were a few orphans and a few who had lost one of their parents, but overall all these children came from a background where they were not wanted and the only way they could survive was by helping their parents in building roads and other hard jobs.
When I looked at the slums and the villages these kids came from, my heart was completely overwhelmed and many times I could not hold my tears back. When you see the open bathrooms they use, you will certainly forget the bathroom design Richmond has in offer. For the first time I wanted to have so much money that I could feed and help all these kids who live in extreme poverty. I know these feelings normally fade as soon as we come back to our developed societies, but I have decided to visit India or any other country for that matter, that has many suffering from lack, so that I would continue to have a sensitive heart towards others'needs and may be someday make a big difference for them.
