[Hope for Vietnam’s children of the dump – The CNN Freedom Project: Ending Modern-Day Slavery - CNN.com Blogs](http://thecnnfreedomproject.blogs.cnn.com/2012/02/13/hope-for-vietnams-children-of-the-dump/?hpt=hp_c1)

I read stuff like this and feel so frustrated by the world’s priorities. I once read a story about women in Haiti who make “cookies” with dirt and garbage as food for their children, and it depressed me for weeks. We give lots of money to charity (even our Christmas gifts are charity-related) but I feel like it’s spitting into the wind.
