I placed four construction paper \u201ccandles\u201d on the table and held up a yellow construction paper \u201cflame,\u201d asking for a volunteer.

The long dirt road was a truly rocky road in the dry season and a rutty, muddy one when the annual rains came. One rainy day our vehicle slipped into a rut that even our four-wheel drive couldn\u2019t help us out of. I got out in the drizzle to see what we could do. As I stared at the tire \u2014 stuck in mud up to the axle \u2014 a small boy, only about 8 years old, came up and offered to help. If we couldn\u2019t do anything, I thought, he certainly couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The boy left and soon returned with an armload of firewood. He got down in the mud and shoved the pieces around the tires. \u201cTry it now,\u201d he said. I obediently got into the car, put it into first gear and roared out of the mud. As if that weren\u2019t enough, the boy said, \u201cMy mother said to come in and get dry. She has some food for you.\u201d At their small adobe house up the hill, we were met with the finest hospitality: We dried our clothes by the fire, enjoyed a hot meal and made new friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Never underestimate an 8-year-old boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/author\/bkita\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bernice Kita<\/a>, M.M.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Her name is Hadia, and she is a 10-year-old girl of the Nuer ethnic group who lives in a U.N. camp in Malakal, South Sudan, where I served in mission for 10 years. In this camp of over 30,000 people displaced by civil war, most families have very few possessions. They keep their clothes in shopping bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One day when I was visiting Hadia and her family, she told me that rats had chewed up her only pair of socks. I asked if she wanted to go to the market to buy another pair. She excitedly said yes and danced for joy. Upon arriving at the market, Hadia found what she wanted. She was happy just to have a new pair of socks. Despite the difficult life of people in the camp, especially children, Hadia taught me the value of living simply and enjoying the simple things in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/author\/mbassano\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Michael Bassano<\/a>, M.M.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In our ministry in Bolivia, we strive to achieve a measure of justice and dignity for Do\u00f1a Benita and her son Jhon. At 13, Jhon is the size of a 6-year-old, with extremely thin arms and legs. Born with severe physical and intellectual disabilities, he cannot talk and needs constant supervision. No school exists in the area for his special needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do\u00f1a Benita is a single mother who works in her neighbors\u2019 fields to earn her family\u2019s daily bread. Since she does not have a car or motorcycle and cannot afford to hire a caregiver for Jhon, she carries him on her back, often for a mile or more. Do\u00f1a Benita had been told by the local doctor that her son would never walk. Even a wheelchair would not help, as the dirt roads and trails are not passable for a wheelchair. She wondered if God was punishing her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had Jhon examined by our doctors and learned that there was no physical reason he could not walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, with our physical therapist and the rest of our team, we started intensive treatment, including teaching the exercises to Jhon\u2019s mother in order to double up on his therapy. We prayed that it was just the lack of muscle development that prevented him from walking. After six months, Jhon is now able to stand and walk 20 feet on his own. Jhon smiles when he walks, and his mother has regained her faith that a better tomorrow can be achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em><a
