Guatemala

Ok so I'm in Guatemala now. But I don't have pics yet. Still in the stone age with one-shot deal camera. So you'll have to wait until I get to Walgreens to see the pics.
So I met a little girl yesterday who was actually looming in a small courtyard inside the hotel where we're staying.
She was making a table runner. She had the loom outstretched, umbrella in her lap and colorful threadsthat she weaved in singsong motions. She was just beautiful her name was Nancy. She was 12 years old and had never been to school. She wants to study Pharmacy but she can't go to school because her family can't afford it - it costs about $20 a month for school fees so she works in the market looming arts and crafts goods for a madam art craftsman. Definitely child labor. If I ever saw it. But then I bought two purses from the madam and felt so guilty. Ugggh. I guess you can't do good all the time cause you'll never reach perfection. Is that just rationalization?
