"We are the first generation that can look extreme and stupid poverty in the eye, look across to Africa and elsewhere, and say this and mean it: we have the cash, we have the drugs and we have the science - but do we have the will? Do we have the will to make poverty history? Some say we can't afford to. I say we can't afford not to." - Bono

Tammy,I have a similar post coming together in my mind and heart. As you know, I work in the luxury segment. More and more, I'm finding that my professional life is at odds with my personal life, as I learn more about the injustices of poverty, and wait for my little one to come home. Don't get me wrong - I love my company and appreciate all that its done for me (professionally and personally)... I just sometimes find it hard to be passionate about luxury during the day, when I'm reading Stephen Lewis books at night.
powerful photos...sadly at one, I had to turn away...
It's so easy for people to turn a blind eye.....it breaks my heart.
Thanks for visiting my blog Tammy. Feels like forever since I seen you.
Take care
