I don’t know if I heard right, but did he say that the little girl was abandoned because her parents thought that keeping her would cause their cows to die? That’s incredibly heartbreaking, but thankfully, Compassion was there to help her.
I like what he said about watching the children escape from poverty was his salary.

I know what kenneth is talking about, saying that seeing these children, and helping them is his pay. I used to be a custodian at my church, and the church has a nursery school there, and watching those kids, and them visiting with me when I was working at the school that was worth more then the pay which I was making. I wasn’t doing anything for them except fixing whatever, but being with them was very precious.
