Is there another way??? (3)
I've being making myself this question over and over again since one of my mates ask the same thing when we were in Quiego.
I came back to GDL with a bitter-sweet taste in my mouth. I've found that humans are good by nature, and it's by this so called "civilization" that we have lost that primal innocence, our true nature. A town that for 200 years have stayed almost untouched by other cultures, by other ideas... untouched by corruption.
But in the other hand I'va seen hunger, sickness, poverty and hipocresy right into their eyes.
Did you know that in this town, where they have barely enough water to survive and a few lightballs per house... in this same town where they lack of phone lines, gas and a good clinic they have a CCA (Centro Comunitario de Aprendizaje) that is part of the e-mexico project. They have freaking internet in the town (6 computers sharin one connection)!!! But that is not it! They told me that one of the indicators of poverty in the world is the presence of internet... so when an international ONG like the ONU or the UNESCO does a quick search in Mexico and they see that all these forgotten towns have internet thay say "hmmm... they are not poor"!
So... just like that!!!! KABLAM!!!!! Mexico is not as poor as it used to be last year. Things are going great mister FOX!!!! Thank you!!! This new government is changing this for good. Let's vote for them!
This poeple eat what they cultivate... they have a diet based on "maiz y frijol". When they got sick they are forced to stay in bed until they die or outbest the sickness, and their only change of growth in their lives is to abandon their homes.
Is there another way?
Does things have to be like this?

Hey,
I'm so happy for you that you had the change to help our people somehow. I can't, I live in the US and I hope one day to come back and help, not to live because I have family but to help yes.
I hope the feeling of kindness towards humanity stay with you for a long time, because it is a good feeling that we don't get to have often.
And I'm agree with you about Fox he has done well, even though he doesn't get the help that he supposed to all the time.

Errr... I think my brother was being sarcastic there... But, you comment is rather kind. So... No offense taken.
... sigh... I felt the same way, kind of, when I came back from missions. The hard bit, Victor, will be to stay in that mood. The city does bring you back one way or another.
... If I find out a way, I'll let you know.
