Back to School {Compassion}

Back to school time can be a stressful, hectic, and expensive time.

For many of you, the above picture doesn't even show 1/2 the loot you had to or chose to purchase for a single student in your household. During times of high stress, I think its important to widen our world view rather than zero in on the things that feel like are going to kill us in the moment.

For those living in poverty, back to school has a completely different vibe to it. Joseph is 11-years-old child who has all his school supplies ready to go in Kenya! For many children in poverty, a school bag contains not only pens and pencils but also food, tea and water. Joseph loves to learn, and he is ready for 4th grade!
