Adults are always asking little kids what they want to be when they grow up because they’re looking for ideas.

Via Words Less SpokenMISSION: CAMBODIA VOLUNTEER TRIP UPDATE
Yesterday our volunteers ventured out to the water park after a hot and busy morning exploring through the markets.
Along for the ride came the Primary school kids, the twins and a number of our CKF scholarship students! Everyone had great fun racing down the waterslides & tucking into a well deserved Khmer style picnic lunch!!There are still spots available for the next Mission: Cambodia volunteer trip starting on the 30th Jan and finishing on the 13th Feb. email sam@cambodiankidsfoundation.com for more info.

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes.
Don’t resist them-that only creates sorrow.
Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward
in whatever way they like.
When a drunk falls from a wagon, he won’t be killed, no matter how fast the wagon is moving. His body is like other’s men’s, but the way he falls is different. Life and death mean nothing to him; thus fear can’t enter his heart…
If there is such safety in wine, how much more in wisdom!

Access to Essential Medicines: Ten Stories That Mattered in 2011
3. Progress in the Fight Against HIV, TB, and Malaria Under Threat as Health Funding Falters
Donor support to fight diseases that hit the poor hardest has been waning for a while, but the announcement by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria in November that it was cancelling its annual funding round because donors had not paid up was nonetheless a shock.
Countries will now have to wait until 2014—at the earliest—before they can receive new funds to put more people on treatment for HIV or drug-resistant TB, or roll out diagnostic tests for malaria, for example. The Fund has put a stop-gap solution in place that can prevent treatment interruptions in the meantime, but it’s one that leaves countries hanging on the thinnest of lifelines.

I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.
