I think I understand your feelings and why you cried. It is amazing the work you and the other teachers in Iquitos are doing, thanks for sharing it.

When you live in a developing country like myself (I live in Mexico), it could be very frustrating seeing situations like the ones you are facing (exploited kids, teachers not being paid, etc.), although I have never experienced such an extreme environment like the one you are in right now. By sharing it, you are helping us to be more sensitive to people who are not as privilege as we are.

Thanks again, and me like Andres I envy you.

Besos,

Gemma
