outreach mode

went to the outreach today. there was a book parade for the kids. super duper tiring and it made me real thirsty.. it was fun though. it was just hard to tame the kids as usual. and then we went to the wake of the husband of the woman who arranged the outreach. he was shot. man, these people really do live telenovela lives. and while we were walking in the parade, the kids were pointing out their houses by the railroad. and the woman who was washing her clothes in mud. it was..hmm..i kinda know the kids already because i've seen them before but today was the day that it all became real, that these people really lived in places like that and struggled everyday o be alive and stuff.. they are nice people, contrary to what people have made me believe evrsince i was a kid, that the people there were "bad men" and stuff. they're okay, it's just their circumstance that affects how they are.

"ate wag mo na hawakan kamay ko, kung gusto mo ako nalang hahawak sayo." sweet kid.
