I have been involved with the Gospel for Asia for several months now and have come to really appreciate the work they are committed to doing in the impoverished parts of Asia where millions of children are either discarded, orphaned, or runaways. They live on the streets, vulnerable to kidnappers who sell them into bonded labor and the sex trade. Those who evade kidnappers often fall into gangs, drugs, and alcoholism. Living in the U.S. it's easy to forget how fortunate we are to have basic utilities like 24 hour access to clean running water, plumbing, electricity, etc. As I have learned more about the low quality of life that exists there, my desire to bring aid to this region of the world has grown, and I hope that through my efforts, I can help to provide a better life for the street children there.
