It isn't on the main page. <br/><br/>This is probably trivial, but I don't like the picture associated with the blog. Is the fly on her nose supposed to be what moves my heart? She is so poor she can't keep the flies off of her?<br/><br/>I've been to a dirt poor country and most of the children I saw were smiling, yet we tend not to use those photos because if people see that the children are smiling, they won't see a need. The adults however smile less, and even less smiles come from the teens, but people only seem to want to help children.<br/><br/>Ok. I'm done with my little rant.

I’ve been to a dirt poor country and most of the children I saw were smiling, yet we tend not to use those photos because if people see that the children are smiling, they won’t see a need. The adults however smile less, and even less smiles come from the teens, but people only seem to want to help children.

Ok. I’m done with my little rant.

Are you thinking of having a centralized forum for any missionary or a specific group of missionaries? Or were you thinking of setting up a separate forum for each individual missionary site?

I’m interested in this idea and hearing what you come up with. Feel free to give me an email.
