The last few days I have spent time reading a friend’s blog and they are doing some amazing work. I have found that their words speak so much truth and while they are not in the best of circumstances they still find time to joke and laugh about the life they are living. Rachel and Tristan have been working in Swaziland Africa for the last year teaching HIV prevention and general education to children of their community. Of course there are plenty of anecdotes about daily life and the pure horrors of living in a third world country, but I was most impacted by how they feel that at times that they may not be making much of an impact. I believe that is where the truth lies, when you can look beyond yourself to see the larger picture and imagine a world where maybe you are not making a huge impact. I couldn’t imagine living in such a place or trying to teach people who are always fearful of death from disease and poverty. This is the type of work the requires a lot of strength both emotional and physical. I can only read the sentence “Walked 10 miles in 115 degree heat” and have no idea what that feels like. They have done a great thing for society and the world in general even if they only help one person at a time. I feel more wrapped up in their stories because they are truthful and very human. I don’t think anyone should miss out on this little treasure of a blog about a couple doing amazing work on the other side of the globe.
