Always jump in the puddles!

Always skip alongside the flowers!
The only fights worth fighting are the pillow and food varieties!

After nearly a year of meeting, playing with, and caring for little children all over the world, it is more evident to me than ever before how special these little ones truly are.

With the ability to smile through pain, laugh through poverty, and love through loss, I think I can safely say that these children gave me way more than I could ever give them.  There is a universal joy and silliness that shines through children everywhere and reminds us of how, even on opposite corners of the world, we really are all connected.

This video shows clips of children from each country I visited on the World Race.  Set to one of my favorite childhood songs, it is a constant reminder to me to stay young at heart and have childlike faith.
