Education

I went out to a girls school yesterday with Anne (one of Jason's employees) and met with two girls that Jason sponsors for secondary school. While in conversation with these two girls I realized how grateful these girls were for Jason's help. I asked them "so what do you think you would have done if you didnt get a sponsorship from Jason?? They both replied simultaneously " I dont really know where we would be without Jason" They are both orphans and therefor Jason is the closest thing to a Father Either of them know of and they appreciated his help so very much. Also these girls were so grateful for the opportunity to go to school they loved school and they work so hard at it. They say they ejoy school and realize that is the only chance for them to make themselves anything in life. Well talk about being spoiled Americans haha most kids I know loath school and find it a waste of time. (not to say I have not ever felt that way..) Well I know because of this trip I will not take so much for granted thats for sure. Everything from technology to school to The food I eat and even the freedomes I have in America... More people should come to other parts of the world and find out what they have.
Also, on a different topic. I realized that you have to fear the police in this country more than you do the people. For that reason I am so glad we still have the right to bear arms in America it stops so much corruption that occurs in other areas like the police here and the government and even crime.
Well Those are my recent revalations... Hope you enjoy...

I knew when you left Alex that you would discover how blessed we are here in America and you would come to appreciate all that you experience in your life. I have traveled to impoverished places as well and realize what you are experiencing and it is my earnest desire that all my children would come to understand as you now have. I await your safe return soon. Anthony shared with me today that you called him and spoke for some time. That thrilled me to know you are well and experiencing all that you have. Just continue to be cautious and vigilant in your awareness of where you are. Each time you post, I read and reread it over and over to feel closer to you.
All my love mom
