Natural Joyfulness in Difficult Times

A friend of mine, Skyler, recently returned from a trip to Malawi, a small country located in southeast Africa. With nearly one million people living with HIV/AIDS and nearly half of the population struggling to live on less than $1 a day, the conditions in Malawi COULD suck, but the Malawi people seem to have a natural joyfulness that carries them through difficult times, as evidenced by Sky's beautiful photos of Malawi children.
Sky's trip was for an organization called BuildOn, a non-profit that builds schools and brings literacy to children and adults in developing countries. You can watch the Today Show segment that highlights BuildOn's work in Malawi. Such a powerful reminder for each of us to be in service to others!
