I force-fed myself every last grain as fast as I could, guilty replaying scenes from my life of dumping half-full plates of food. "

For me, I take the longest showers and think water will  never run out but some people in parts of the world don't have running water. Reading this part made me think, all the food I take at dinner I never finish and becomes waste. Since this quote I've started to not waste as much that I used to. Also, I started working a soup kitchen helping out serving food to the homeless. ]]> 2017-10-30 20:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaytorena100/3u5drav91n6l/wish/201932103 jmaytorena100 https://padlet.com/jmaytorena100/3u5drav91n6l/wish/203682005 " I loved the children at Little Princes. I hadn't realized how very much I had missed them for the last   twelve months until that day "

Conor loves the kids and it changed his perspective from just being able to brag that he helped orphaned children but actually be proud of what he did and loved the fact that it changed this life. ]]> 2017-11-05 21:09:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaytorena100/3u5drav91n6l/wish/203684892 jmaytorena100 https://padlet.com/jmaytorena100/3u5drav91n6l/wish/203691021 " We marveled at the images on TV, at the faces of these peaceful, wonderful, loving people, suddenly crazed with passion, with determination, with revolution, with the spirit that drives men and women to stand on front lines and absorb bullets and batterings to win freedom for those who stand behind them.

People are bringing others down in sadness and not caring about each other only themselves. All the shootings we have had are mostly about anger in the world or having a mental illness. ]]> 2017-11-05 22:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaytorena100/3u5drav91n6l/wish/203695900 jmaytorena100 https://padlet.com/jmaytorena100/3u5drav91n6l/wish/203696957 " I wasn't even angry anymore; I just felt slightly dizzy, like walking away from a car accident. This was all a charade. Everything I had said I could do could not be done. The children were gone. That was life in Nepal. this packed room of distressed parents told that story every single day. "

Conor was loosing hope and feeling terrible. After trying so hard to go on this treck to find them, nobody has seen the children. When I was helping delivering some toiletries to the homeless, one lady asked me if I say her dog and I said no and I know you will find her. Even though I've never seen her dog I know he or she is out there. Conor still believed their some where and he needs to find them. ]]> 2017-11-05 23:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaytorena100/3u5drav91n6l/wish/203700856 jmaytorena100 https://padlet.com/jmaytorena100/3u5drav91n6l/wish/203703805 " He asked me in many different ways why was I doing this for children in Nepal. Why not somewhere else? Why not helping in my own country? I had no good answer for him, except to simply say that in Nepal, nobody else was taking care of them. What other reason was there? "

Why Rinjin asked him so many different times wonders me because I feel he thinks nobody wants to help their part of the world because their is so many trafficked children out in Humla. ]]> 2017-11-06 00:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaytorena100/3u5drav91n6l/wish/203707329
