		<description>...curious to know what kicks you&#039;ve found recently (past 2 years i guess). I found the boblo&#039;s about a year ago, and it&#039;s time for something new...I&#039;m way outdated. Give me some direction if possible.</description>

		<description>Thanks for your comments, Jen!  Merry Christmas (and Happy New Year!) to you as well.  I do think that there is no such thing as wasted effort -- 1 person helped is better than none.  However, for a shift to occur, I do believe that intiatives not only have to come from the government, but also from the people themselves.  

People here are reliant on help.  Not having lived here for 15 years, I don&#039;t need someone to help me live my life, but people here do.  They have no reason to stop and they won&#039;t.  This reliance on help energizes the supply for help, and makes being a maid, a driver or a guard a viable career choice.

At the same time, there needs to be more opportunities for pepole to educate themselves.  In the provinces,  people don&#039;t have proper health or educational facilities, thus adding to the problem.

This is my basic understanding of things.  I am sure that I&#039;m missing a lot of key facts.  But what I do know is that this is a problem that has been around for as long as I can remember.  

This has been a different trip for me, partly because I&#039;m more conscious.  I am glad that it has gotten me thinking, and I do hope it continues to affect me deeply, even when I&#039;m back in LA, where it is really quite easy to forget.</description>

		<description>Merry Christmas Gabe ! I like the description in this entry because its an issue which is sadly prevalent in a number of developing nations and burdened the minds of so many, myself included. I especially like the sincerity and credibility with which you write. It is difficult to empathsize with those without &quot;options&quot;, but do you really think that they have no way out ? Being the optimist, I&#039;d like to think that slowly these kids are getting help and a chance at a higher education and a higher quality of life. You&#039;re there -- is there any way we can help ?

Thanks for reminding us there are many less fortunate people out there. Definitely, as you put it, restores some perspective to our values and priotities.</description>
