Our workers notice that deceit is a way of life for many nationals. This makes it harder to trust anyone. Sometimes they feel exploited by the very people they are trying to help. Often there is less modesty in the way people dress in public, which can lead to temptation. Alcoholism affects many families.
Many children suffer abuse from a drunken parent.
Also, it s discouraging to work with public officials who constantly seek bribes. Acts of violence that you see committed in broad daylight. Stacy and one of our interns saw a scuffle take place at the train station soon after we arrived. It s not uncommon for our workers to have their possessions stolen by the people they are trying to help. Recently one of our workers was physically harassed while traveling to another city.
