I used to think these stories were made up until one night my neighbor…, oh. Wait. Sorry, wrong website.
In 2007 spent 6 weeks in Liberia. Beautiful country whose people had been through Hell because of a years long civil war.
I saw how low people could go in seeing street people who had nothing. Literally. They were naked. I saw people working to rebuild. Smiles. Joy. A real mixed bag.
It just helped realign my world view.
