I work in a Rescue Mission if that's any help to you.

 

I nearly did it when I was younger. I was inspired after reading the book "The Barrios of Manta" by Rhoda Brooks. Quite inspiring, though these days there is less hope than back then, especially with AIDS (of which tonights news reports that 38% of the population of Tanzania has AIDS!! That's horrendous, but what can or is, being done?

Hmm..Neat thanks for the site. Rescue Mission?? Do u rescue people??

 

Yes, Amber. Some self-destructive people do return to a more productive and self-fulfilling life. We are always glad to see that, because over the years we tend to become attached to them.

 

Well thats nice to help people out like that.

 

Yes, it is - especially since I, like many others who are called to help, was once the helped.
