So truthful of the Situation

Found this on a fellow PCVs blog from Tonga. Thought it was fitting for the situation of many Peace Corps volunteers who serve so selflessly. Its the little things we do to help people that bring us the most satisfaction. We are striving to make leeps of change, we are living everyday for the little moments that make us realize why we chose this path in life. So here is to all the PCVs serving proudly for the little moments of gratitude:



"If you have food in the fridge, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank and spare change somewhere, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy. Oh, and if you can read this you are more blessed than more than two billion people in the world who cannot read. "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain
