"We are not here to build playgrounds or hand out food. Material need is a mere surface result of much deeper brokenness in places like Africa, and I'm afraid that being "the ones to fix it," may not be fixing it at all.  In fact, it may be making things worse. We go to build relationships with a people who have much for us to learn from, as we do them. To empower their incredible minds and beautiful hearts to grow. That being said, today we whipped and nay-nayed." Brenna C.
