I know what you mean River. It's hard and sad. It's those time
when I feel bad about how I worry over my problems which aren't very bad
considering most of those people lost everything. I also know it's a part
of human nature.

Hi everyone,
Anyone watching CNN is seeing around the
clock coverage of the
Tsunami/earthquake, it's so devastating. They
estimate that 5 million
people and 1 million children are displaced.
Women have lost their
husbands and for the majority of them, the sole wage
earner. We have
no idea the devastation that lies ahead for these
countries and our
world. The disaster will have far-reaching effects
for those even in
the richest of nations.
I feel so helpless,
having little economically to give, but will pledge
some. Most of
all, in times like this I think alot about what I would
have done in my
walking days. As I was prepared to join the Peace
Corps before my
accident, my instinct is to go help. BUT I CAN"T, and
that
tears me up.
1 million
children.
peace,
River
