Hi Lumberjack
We are currently building our house on the cliff top where the rock climbers leave their cars for the days climb.
I ask myself the same question you do. I watch the most incredible sunsets each night, and know the coming freezing night, the orphans in the valley will have very little to keep them warm. I know that many will go hungry and so I continue to bring awareness to what is happening down there (and in many other valley's) through writing for Habitat.
My motivation is to get folk to come down, and build with us. Spend a day building for the children and witness how children in this country have to live without parents and in homes that are falling down around them.
My woork in the valley's has always had this contrast....the mansions of Kloof looking down onto the shacks of Molweni.....two worlds...and my job is to bring the two together for however brief a time.
