At the beginning, I thought I had just paid ten bucks to sit on newspaper and blankets and get fed beans and rice. WELL, I'm no feminist, but I had no idea how bad life for a woman is out there (in the world). At the end of the dinner, I could not help but think of how privileged I am! I live in a country where I know the culture. I know the language. I have TWO jobs. I have the ability to support myself. I am literate. I live amongst friends and family. And still, I take for granted what many people are praying for.
In the end, I didn't just pay ten dollars to sit on a hard floor and eat peasant food. No. Instead, I was reminded to be extremely appreciative of what I have and to dedicate myself to loving others around me. I need to answer the call to help others until it hurts and then help some more! Because this world is full of bigger things then our petty problems.
