The trip to that city was eye-opening for everyone,and near its end ,all the young people in our group began to reflect on what it had meant.We looked back on the first night we had arrived.We had all gone into the markets of the city so that the young people could experience its energy.But what we actually saw simply shocked
us all –the rundown houses,the children in rags,the people begging for money… Walking home,passing under a low bridge,we came across entire families of homeless people seeking a bit of dry ground to sleep on for he night.We had to step over bodies as we found our way through the darkness.
The poverty(貧困) was worse than anything my young companions had ever imagined.Back in the hotel,an air of sadness settled over the group.Many broke down and cried.Spending time in this environment moves a person to care about humanity.
That evening,our group spent hours talking about what we had witnessed .Gently,I encouraged everyone to talk about the difficult feelings that day’s discoveries had inspired.Sitting together in a circle as everyone had a chance to speak,we all began to realize that none of us was alone in our struggle to cope with our reactions.
Based on my experiences in poverty-stricken areas,I suggested that while the emotions we had were painful,they could also be important in helping us to move forward.We all agreed that we had seen things that should never be allowed to happen.Now ,what could we do about it?Together,we began to brainstorm ways we could help to ease the suffering we had seen.As I encouraged group members to focus on what they could do,a sense of determination replaced the previous sadness.Instead of despair,these young people began to feel a call to action.
