pretty much the same kitchen you'd see in any new condo these days. Ultimately I want to paint the wood cabinets white with a varnish over them, but ... much to our surprise, Brandon and I kind of like the light maple finish for now.
Poverty is an issue that has always surrounded people, but many are so used to it that nothing is being done. Ecuador, my hometown, is a third-world country with one of the most serious rates of poverty in Latin America. The percentage of poverty in the country-side of Ecuador is about 62%, and extreme poverty is about 27%; which means that there are many people in need of help. Personally, I always try to contribute in every way I can. During the past two years I have been lucky enough to do some community service with some really charming but low class kids, and this has made me feel more attached to this situation. What makes me sad the most are the many kids that are laying on the streets, just waiting for help. In the U.S., people does not see poverty as a really close issue because it is not in the streets to hit you in the face, that is why when I go to Ecuador, the image in the streets keeps impressing me. Children knocking on your car windows asking for money so they can eat, others just smiling at you across the street, and many just looking down with not a bit of hope left.

Lao Wang is a homeless. He sells “the big issue”magazine on the street. TBI can’t be bought at bookstore but from homeless people.TBI exists to offer homeless and vulnerably housed people the opportunity to earn a legitimate income.
The western end of Hungerford Bridge, south side. This fella is always on this pitch selling the Big Issue. He always says hello with a smile and I reciprocate but I don't buy a copy. Nothing against him; I have found that when I buy the Issue I rarely get around to reading it. Perhaps one day when I have a few minutes in hand I'll stop and chat and find out more about him and maybe even take a copy.
