The trip to that city was eye-opening for everyone, and near its end , all the young people in our group began to reflect on what it had meant. We __21__ the first night we had arrived. We had all gone into the markets of the city __22__ the young people could experience its energy. But what we actually saw simply
23
us all –the rundown houses, the children in rags, the people begging for money… Walking home,
24
under a low bridge, we came across
25
families of homeless people seeking a bit of dry ground to sleep on
26
he night. We had to step over bodies as we found our way through the darkness.
The poverty(贫困) was
27
than anything my young companions had ever imagined. Back in the hotel, an air of sadness settled over the group. Many
28
and cried. Spending time in this
29
moves a person to care about humanity.
That evening, our group spent hours talking about what we had
30
. Gently, I encouraged everyone to talk about the difficult
31
that day’s discoveries had inspired. Sitting together
32
a circle as everyone had a chance to speak, we all began to realize that
33
of us was alone in our struggle to cope with our reactions.
Based on my
34
in poverty-stricken areas, I suggested that
35
the emotions we had were painful, they could also be important in helping us to move forward. We all
36
that we had seen things that should never be allowed to happen.
37
, what could we do about it? Together, we began to brainstorm ways we could help to ease the
38
we had seen. As I encouraged group members to focus on
39
they could do, a sense of determination
40
the previous sadness. Instead of despair, these young people began to feel a call to action.
