Great photo posted by returning volunteer Rosa taken in the village of Gboloo Kofi inside the kindergarten (KG). “What joyful children! Look at those smiles! My heart melts!” from Adriana Dolores Mooney. If only they knew! Rosa volunteered for the charity during the summer of 2013. She taught at the school and in the kindergarten.

This photo represents one of the main reasons Village by Village was created. It catches the joyful happiness that we face every day in the villages we work in. There is great sadness in the communities we try and support but there are also many lessons our society can and should learn from communities in poverty. The main one being life is too short and every moment should be enjoyed.
