Experience Panama

After traveling to Chumical, Panama and building a home for a family there who previously lived in a shack...After experiencing the happiness of the Kuna Indians and watching the kids run around barefoot, kicking cans for sport, and beaming with smiles...After falling in love with Michele and Esteban whose faces are burned into my memory forever...I am so grateful for what I have, try not to take small things for granted, and will always be humbled. It's amazing that in my American culture, so many of us have everything we could ever want and are totally unhappy...the Kuna in Panama have next to nothing but each other and are happier than we will ever be. A lesson learned.
