South America is a place of diversity: here you find from the weirdest to the most beautiful places and people. Indeed, one "feature" of south american people (specially brazilian, since I live in Brazil) is try to help anyone who's in need. People here are extremely kind (they may not be sometimes). Another point is that you really should know how lucky you are to live in a country where you can go out and feel safe. Don' t have to be afraid if you're gonna be alive in the end of the day, if your kids are ok, if your family is safe. Also, a few people starve there. Here, many people start their days looking for something to eat, and in many cases, they don't eat for days, looking for food in garbages and asking money in streets. It's usual to see poor children asking money in traffic lights. Young children selling candies to help their family inside buses. This is a sad side of this beatufil country, with many nice places and amazing people. I really wish someday the situation would be another and we'd live safer, people would have food in their tables and a roof above their heads. Keep on the good work!

A lot people visited developed countries only appreciate the views but found people there annoying because they, as you said, always try to sell tourist products or stuff like that. But you see through their lives. Another good article, keep it going, I like reading your blog, it's more than a design and tech blog.

You prove that going away for a while helps refresh one's perspective. What I get out of your post is: be generous! I felt like that when I read a post on 'Becks & Posh' about a Food Blogging Fund Raiser she's doing for 'Food Runners', a Bay Area food pantry. I offered a local (New Jersey) organization named 'Table to Table' to do the same for them late 'August' with a tentative banner of 'Hunger does not take a Vacation'. Have a good day SERGE Biz: http://www.njconcierges.com Blog: http://www.sergetheconcierge.com Rachel

I am also very interested by what you say about how we take things for granted, it's so true. I read something today on a blog, I'm not sure if it originated as a blog post or a written report, but it was from a lady inside lebanon and it was truly heartbraking stuff to read. I do however wonder wether the heightening in international communication online via blogs may not help people to see more how others live, and hopefully make them more willing to help those whom they can. Sadly, I think I may be being to optimistic. Sounds like you had a truly amazing time, Rachel, glad to hear it.
