Photo Gallery II: Kwala Village

Here you will see candid shots of the Kwala Village. What we consider "poor" in America has no comparison to what we saw here. However, when you think of the fact that these people may have no comparison to our daily living---they seem complacent.

I did talk to one gentleman who wants to come to America to "live the good life" and get a nice home for his family and explore the opportunities in America. How quickly do I take for granted these "opportunities" that lie in America. Many times, we complain about how we lack the supports necessary to live the "American Dream". But how many of us are ready to work to make it a reality. When foreigners come to our land, they have a true goal in mind to obtain that American Dream and they sacrifice and do whatever is necessary to make it happen. However, some of us believe that we are inherit of this dream and find that it may be deferred or a non-reality because the "white man" has us down. Well...in Kwala...this puts things in perspective.

The little or the much that I have will never ever be taken for granted when I think about my stay here.

It is a challenge to upload photos as quickly as I would like. Internet here is really really really slow! Please stay tuned for more shots soon!
