The difference that $80 makes to one person...

I met her at our community office - one of the ladies who lost her entire small business to a raging fire in Masiphumelele, a South African township. And through a local Rotary Club, we managed to get her some money to buy stock and get back on her feet. I never seizes to amaze me how eternally grateful someone can be for something so insignificant in this magnitude of poverty. The smile on Julia's face will stay with me for a long time. Why has money become so little to so few and so much to so many?!
