The one day I spent in Morocco, Africa was an experience of a lifetime. When I finally reached Morocco and got off the bus, there were four little girls standing shoeless in the hot sun. After I swallowed my tears, I could not

even try to picture this in America as it is not something you often see in the U. S. Meanwhile my tourist guide

instructed me not to give them money as it encouraged the children to beg; however, I was wearing four silver

bracelets. As I walked over to the girls, their eyes watched my every move. Then I kneeled down to their level

while I gave each girl a bracelet. They stood there gleaming at me, for they were pleased. I felt completely in

disbelief that this tiny gesture could mean so much.
