Horrible things that happen to people all over the world, in every country regardless of rich or poor is just heart renching. Most of the time we just don't seem to have any answers but the important thing is that we never become cynical and hard hearted. We can never underestimate the power of ONE. As myngler let us all vouch to the motto of EACH ONE REACH ONE! Natasha Hi Thea, I am sure most of us have experienced this sort of helpless feeling one time or the other.

Thea, it doesn't only look like but YOU ARE THERE. For all you know, the more you dig, the more you find. Alex is just a sample, a picture, a representative of so many poverty-stricken countries around the world. When you went there, your main purpose was to help the urban poor reach even the first ladder of education. Maybe you didn't realize that alongside illiteracy are bulks of sad and uncontrolled happenings. I believe that these social evils I mentioned in my first comment are not graciously done but they are forced to be done due to the great disparities of life. No young individual wants to lie nor trick another if there are no forcible reasons to compel him. And it's so sad and frustrating that young people are nurtured to such situation due to mere physical survival. If the stories of Alex you got from the people around are 99% negative, do you still see the 1% positive? Do you believe that this remaining 1% is as powerful as the 99%? It's a fact that even the worst person you could imagine still has a hidden potential and goodness that needs to be appreciated and boosted in order to shine. And I am glad that you saw that in Alex. Thea, your short stay there, I am sure, will somehow leave a ray of hope to the young minds you are with now. Good luck and keep it up. God bless you.
