The movie Hotel Rwanda
Wow! The movie "Hotel Rwanda" has definately opened my eyes to so many things. If you have seen the movie then you know what I'm talking about. I'm not going to sit here and explain the movie to you but its definately something people should watch. Yes, it puts us outside our comfort zone and at times is very difficult emotionally to watch but its so inspirational and eye opening. I feel so blessed yet I feel ashamed. I take the simple everyday things I have for granted. As Americans we are blessed but we have too much. I'm sorry if you beg to differ but we do. I felt almost ashamed to be an American during that movie. Yes, we weren't the only ones to blame but we didn't do all we could either. I don't even know how to sort out my feelings right now. I'm so overwhelmed. This movie also reminded me so much of Guatemala and the city of El Carmen. The kids and families have basically nothing there yet they are the greatest people you will ever meet in your life. I want to go back and help so badly and I'm determined to again in December. I just wish I could explain things to you all! Please just pray for those less fortunate and be sooo incredibly grateful for what you have. Take care
