StART Society
Friday, July 3rd, 2009After a month of bumming around, I finally got round to visiting Joshua, who now runs StART Society. The purpose of the home is to use art and the performing arts to put a smile on the faces of underprivileged children. I had a great time there, and for the first time in weeks felt the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders. Watching the kids was a therapeutic experience. Even though some of them have experienced some really ugly realities, carefreeness came so naturally to them. Looking at what some of us have become, I think the world would be a better place if we learned more from them, and if they learned less from us.
