The poor ladies on the street corners in Mexico with the children are called "Las Marias." They train the children to follow you and pull at your clothes, and, basically , to harass you. These women are almost always native Indians, and if they don't have their own children, they will rent one. Obviously, the parents in Nepal know that to stop the constant harassment, most people will usually give the children something. Interesting the karma (cause and effect) we generate for ourselves, and for others at the same time. I enjoyed your website. The Arizona uncle. Hi, Jim!

Great writing :-) Keep up the soul-searching. What a wonderful place to be soul-searching. Your story reminded me of Tiajuana when we were little...remember the small children begging? It saddens me that educated individuals who have the where-with-all to coast up everest would contribute to perpetual poverty. there's such an ignorance gap. Much love!! Autumn Hi Jimmy!

I remember the dilemma of going to the market in Northern Cameroon in the "big city" of Maroua, being besieged by beggars and always wondering, "Am I seeing Christ in them?" and "Can they see this in me by my response?" I often carried a pocketful of "dolla sissi" just percentage points of pennies in worth so I could give something. Yet these excursions were never satisfying and remained an enigma. However, redemption was in my minding place in the village, working with others, sharing different things but in one community where there was reciprocity and I often became the receiver of must more than I could give. I think your listening, reflecting and interacting is a great gift toward the mission of FBR and does promote understanding, one encounter at a time. None of us can visit a place without changing it somehow--it is good that some US citizens can cleanse the palate others across the globe offering more than the arrogant American personna. Sincerest thanks! Thanks much Jim.
