When reading the Interview “Everything You Thought You Knew About Orphans in Africa is Probably Wrong” I found it to hit me kind of hard because I have an unconditional love for kids and the heart ache they have endured‚ from having parents so poor they can’t afford to send their kids to school but an orphan gets more opportunities for education then those who have parents.

L.M. Montgomery once stated “..we pay a price for everything we get or take in this world..”. What he is saying is the choices we make in life‚ whether they be good or bad‚ consequences are received.
