Just imagine...

Do you have a nephew who is 5 years old? Or a 5 year old son? Or the son of a friend is 5 years old?
Then just imagine this little 5 year old would stand the whole day on a crossroads in the next town at the traffic lights to sell candy or chewing gum to the waiting cars? Or he would clean the front shield of the car hoping to get 10 Cents for it.
Could you imagine that? No? Well, never mind, I have a 5 year old nephew and I can't imagine it neither that he could do something like that for 10 hours or longer per day. But here in Arequipa that's part of everyday life. And I'm always shocked how young these boys are. Hardly can look over the engine hood but have to work hard to support their families.
So next time you see your 5 year old nephew or son or son of a friend just think about these kids and send a prayer to our heavenly father.
