I would be so interested in each and every one of their histories, as well as your completely biased recollection of the experience. As a journalist I know it is important to be impartial, or present so, but there is something more colorful about an opinion :)Wine and Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06778785233226804217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925676452875149347.post-73532025006514622622011-05-21T04:55:51.923-07:002011-05-21T04:55:51.923-07:00Ed, I've been reading your immersion posts -- ...Ed, I've been reading your immersion posts -- this is important work you are doing, educating so many of us who are ignorant of what our neighbors face from day to day.

If this is truly the greatest country on earth, the world is hurting more than I would like to believe. Ugh. <br /><br />Thank you for writing about these issues. So many people see the homeless as cardboard sign holders on freeway passes and have no idea what lack of privilege and opportunities and broken dreams do to the human spirit. It should break all of our hearts to the point of some action. <br /><br />I admire and know that you humbly have been moved to action.<br />xxamyUnspokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16065870952905767595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925676452875149347.post-89260500551201853022011-05-20T19:17:23.558-07:002011-05-20T19:17:23.558-07:00Those are some truly amazing people, to dedicate t...Those are some truly amazing people, to dedicate their lives to such a worthy and difficult cause.
