I am very sensitive when it comes to children and the deplorable conditions they are faced with. Thanks for sharing the information you have learned with us.

I have traveled to both of these regions on several occasions and I was very curious about the motives of the families here. I am however, very curious to learn more about this region from a more statistic approach. I'm pretty sure your husband's family has experienced the children in this region selling items during all times of the night to tourists as a means of income. I was very surprised by some of the data collected from this particular region.Theresa Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02788553830852174688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8680473681725784031.post-21749196624425562942013-08-18T09:51:54.526-07:002013-08-18T09:51:54.526-07:00Yes- the levels of poverty in Latin America and th...Yes- the levels of poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean are alarming with severe consequences. Children are vulnerable and it is heart breaking. Like you I have become inspired to do more to support the parents and families I work with.

I know very little about it, other than what one gets on the news every now and then. Reading your post Stacy and Yolonda's comment, I think we all feel like we are not doing enough. I think this may be true to some extent, but then having been through our studies at Walden has certainly changed our mindset. I believe armed with our new knowledge we can make a difference in the lives of the children we teach everyday. If we can get them thinking, thinking about others, thinking about their choices and the repercussions their choices can have on society, teaching them to problem solve and that their isn't only one solution to a problem, teaching them to work together with others, to accept responsibility, all these social and emotional aspects of psychosocial development then I believe we have made a difference. As these children will grow up and become active members of society and they will have children of their own, and if we have been successful, they will be successful in transferring that knowledge, applying it and taking action within their own family and the wider community and people they encounter on a daily basis.

I wish there was more I could do to help people in these types of situations. I am a foster parent who takes in teenaged girls. I once had a 15 year old girl who already had a two year old and was pregnant with her second child. This young girl came to me being treated for sexually transmitted disease. Yes, she was taken from her home but for good reason. Also, had a sixteen year old who lived with me who had and STD. Sorry to say but sexual abuse is everywhere and I wish I could be a part of the solution.Yolonda from the Who Dat Nation!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15896027204098428407noreply@blogger.com
