"Despite their circumstances, the people were so happy..."- Lex

When my mom and Dad told me I was going to Haiti I did not know what to expect, in my head I
sort of thought it would be like here but I was wrong really wrong. Haiti sort of looks like a ruin of one of the American or Canadian cities, like New York or Ottawa , because there was garbage and rubble everywhere. Despite their circumstances, the people were so happy, happier than any North American Ihave seen! They were so happy and I just could not figure out why. I didn’t understand how someone sopoor could be that happy until I read ‘When Helping Hurts’ just an amazing book. It told me that therereally are different kinds of poverty and that we need each others help. If we partner together we could alleviate our spiritual poverty and alleviate their material. With God’s help we can work together andchange the world to make it a better place.
