Rice Rice Baby

I love and hate this photo.  It could be a poster child for World Vision – desolate, forgotten, poor.  It makes you want to dig into your wallets and send a check (you can make those out to “Barak Bruerd” btw).  But honestly, it’s not a true picture of this family at all.  Rotha and I worked with this family, among many others, and they were amazing people who persevered in spite of incredible odds.  They were great parents, and though their daughter here looks rather sad, it’s probably just the carb drowsiness setting in since she just finished devouring a bowl of rice the size of her head.
