      Why would God make it rain? I know you have your own belief, but he told us he's going to make it hard. Its ok I won't insult you as you do with other because of your own belief.

      Chas Stack So wait is your mother or guardian or even a teacher disciplines you for something you did wrong he/she is wrong right ? God teaches us to be patient to wait so that our lives can be easier. Patience is better than ignorance something you seem to be good at.

      May God preserve your life so that you live another 50 yrs so that you will see for yourself that they are not as backward as you think. How can you say we are developing when we are actually destroying that which God created and substituting it with the artificial we are seeing today in the so called developed nations. Is this the will of God

    Now go ahead and walk to ur refrigerator for a cold drink and a snack you purchased from the grocery store. Sit on ur soft sofa in ur farm animal free living room. Maybe watch a movie? Nah, not you! You prefer listening to ur grandma tell stories in the dark while swatting many insects away all night, right?
    People in the west, we love to fantasize about a different way of life. As if living this way is so peaceful and joyful. But the reality is that we prefer comfort above all else. Period. Actually, these folks would too, if they had the choice. Maybe instead of making their plight ur silly fantasy land, sympathize and donate as much as you possibly can.

    You can use flat wooden pieces for mixing mixture. Visit some site of cow dunk cake in India.
    If possible please teach crochet works to these children. Children will not remain unemployed.
