I told my mom about this project today, saying our class was living like a third world country for a week, and she said, “No, you’re not.”
When I tried to argue with her, she read me this passage from a book she’s been reading:
“We don’t know the world of poverty. We try to get our arms around it, but we just can’t comprehend what it’s like.
