After looking at sad photos on flickr, I realized how very, very lucky I am, to have such wonderful parents, a good home, good food, toys, and the proper medication.
But sadly, The Philippines' street children are not the same. Some live alone, homeless, with no parents. Some can't even afford to go to a public school. I wonder, now, how will they ever find a job, particularly in this century?
Jobs are running out, like cold halo-halo in the summer. Gas prices are going up, more people are being kicked out of their own homes. Some people, that I have seen, have no clothes at all. I often see them, on my way to school, sitting there, under the hot sun, with only a piece of fruit and a mat with them.
But It seems that our world is sinking, never to be pulled out of the giant vortex we are in now.
