Look at those Smiling Faces

My second suite-mate is from Indonesia.

Her insight into my project was the fact that there are no assistance programs and food banks there.  If there is no food, there are no options.

According to my friend, most of the poor in the United States live at an Indonesian upper-middle class level.

We don't realize how good we've got it, until we see something like this...


Although this video didn't originate in Indonesia (but in the nearby Philippines), it illustrates the large gap between the "haves" and "have nots".

I hope it makes you cry.
