I was walking back to our resort after taking pictures of the sunrise. 2 kids saw me and walked along with me. They were carrying a bag of mangoes and selling me some so that they can go to school. Unfortunately, I didn’t have anything with me other than my phone, my camera, my room keys and a camera battery. I have no intentions to eat mangoes for breakfast but I wanted to reward these kids for earning money instead of begging for it. The next best thing I could do for them is take them to the beach in our resort so they could sell mangoes there.
I asked them about life around here. Their dad earns just enough to survive. They have to sell stuff from the forest to earn extra. They walk along these beaches everyday to make a few bucks.
And yesterday I was complaining that the air conditioner in our room was not cold enough and that the battery of my iPod was already drained because I did not charge it for a week?
Here’s Angela and Erwin. I’m guessing that’s their dad who was resting after taking a dip in the ocean.

Yup... Experiences like these really give you another view of life and teach you how to appreciate it...
