To find firewood. To avoid malaria, hepatitis, dysentery, tuberculosis, or countless common diseases. To live one more day. Yet, in the midst of all this need, I often find such contentment and joy. The homes have no air condition, carpet or beds.
Most people have no cars.
Most people have no more than two changes of clothes. There are no retirement plans. Still, there is contentment and joy. That's enough for Africa. It's enough for the rest of the world.
