Different, But The Same
I've been in country for a short time and already feel as though I have learned volumes. One lesson taught me as different as we are, they are still people just like us. Recently one of our interpreters lost his 5 month old daughter which is a perfect reflection of their infant mortality rate. We had the honor of being invited to what would be the equivalent to a memorial service for her. It was as heart wrenching as if it were one of our own. Grieving knows no cultural boundries.

As much as we try to deny it, we all are human and we all have feelings. Hopefully someday we all will realize it so we can start living together in peace. My heart goes out to your interpreter. Glad you guys could show him your support.
