Video: Children of Africa

 I love children,  and I love Africa.  I regret that I have no kids of my own, but I don't regret not having any in this country.  I wouldn't want my children to be tainted by the wrong values this place says you must have to be a human and have worth.  I wouldn't want the racism of here to slowly kill their spirit and self-esteem.  I would have loved to have been married and have kids in a more traditional society in which community and family were the second top priority after devotion to God.   

I lived briefly in Africa once.  I know how much life and friendliness African children can have.  I've seen similar liveliness and joy in Turkish children, another country where I've also lived.  One of my greatest joys was to have a Turkish child kiss my hand and then place it on his forehand.  This is a traditional sign of respect for elders in Turkey.  

This video was posted on a Facebook page devoted to Africa the other day.  I wanted to share it here.  Even though these kids are poor, they are happy and act like children should.
