Dreams & Hopes

I took a geography class a few years ago and was amazed at how little I knew about the present world around me. I was in awe at how much my heart swelled for these people and places I new so little about. As I've continued to study our global affairs, I struggle to pick a location concentration. How much I LOVE the people of South America and I am constantly AMAZED with the Asian culture. But, my heart feels like it's going to BURST when I think of my sub-Saharan Africa. There is so much more to learn and understand but as my eyes and heart continue to open, I know my deepest dreams and hopes of significantly being able to contribute to our global community, will come true one day at a time. I just need to be patient.
Madonna recently produced and wrote the documentary of the orphaned by Aids children of Malawi: I AM BECAUSE WE ARE. (Make sure to pause the music to the right but go out and watch the complete film as soon as you get a chance.)

I love how this film expresses the idea of "What hurts the one, effects the others as well." and how the most important thing is WHAT WE HAVE IN COMMON. Here's a link to the films website: http://www.iambecauseweare.com/ on the top there is an icon of ways we can help the children of Malawi.
