The last two weeks in Costa Rica, I have been spending my time with people who don’t exist.
I sit at a lunch table with homeless men, who are treated the same as the stray dogs that roam the streets. Society doesn’t want to see them.
An entire community, hundreds of families, living in a squatter community on a hill. House on top of house, with only a piece of plywood to separate them from their own sewage. In the best interest of Costa Rica’s image, the government doesn’t recognize them to be living.
Twelve year-old girls being pulled out of school to sell their selves to men, in the same field where young teenage boys are buying and selling crack. The police look the other way.
I beg you to look into the eyes of these people, and tell me they don’t exist. Tell me they are less important than anyone else. Tell me that God loves them any less. That’s not the truth.
Change can take place. At the end of the month, my team will have the privilege of handing out school supplies and uniforms to children who have sponsors. Several children have help; however, there are many more who need it.
I am asking you to prayerfully consider sponsoring one of these children. It’s around $200.00 for the whole school year.
Help break the non-existent life that these people are living. These children are the future of this broken country. You can help bring healing.
