Children & Community

Here is how I made it to Vietnam and what I found myself feeling and missing. As a child I have traveled to many different places and observed how others lived their lives as a family. The one common thread with these countries is the sense of community that I do feel is missing where I live and how it feeds the soul. Is this the reason so many children are suffering and depression and anxiety are up? Something to think about as so many people are feeling alone. I’m not saying this is the reason but food for thought!
