A New Look on Life

Zach McKibbin: We have just got done with dinner on our first day
of work and this place changes your prospective no matter what.
For me it is that fact that you can look out the window in the
dining hall and see the lights from Texas, you can see America,
our home but feel like you are a million miles away. All we did
was cross a small river and then you are in a whole new world,
everything is different, even the food. I am not joking–you could
have the same brand of a product (like Coke Cola), but it will taste
totally different.

So like I said we have just got done with our
first day of work and it was a truly changing experience, and not
in the way that you may think. What I did was paint the girls beds
from this chipped black paint to this bright purple that just lit
up the room. And the whole time we were doing this all the girls
were watching us, not the TV that they had in their room but us,
and the whole time they were saying what I hope was that it looks
so cool. This whole trip has only started but my whole perspective
of Mexico and the way these kids have to live everyday makes me
feel home sick and thankful for what I have and wish they could
experience the same thing.
