“You cannot do this, Sebastian, they’re too many and you will never reach them all”. I have been confronted with this statement a few times in my life, especially when it comes to orphans. “A drop in the ocean”, “too little too late”, I am sure you heard them all. In a way, these statements are true, it is a vast ocean of suffering and of abject poverty, injustice and inequality out there. What can one man do? Or a handful of men and women? Better just leave all these people to their fate, we are not responsible for their misery. Or are we? Are we to sit idle and watch how these children wither and die, just because we are not responsible for their situation? Surely, very few of us have held a three year-old child in their arms, who was dying of malaria, or TB, or of dysentery. Looking into her eyes, knowing she will be dead in the next few minutes and yet, not being able to save her. I have held that child in my arms and I can tell you that it changes you, deeply and completely. For the rest of your life. Every piece of bread you eat, every cup of water you drink, becomes a conscious act, to respect, appreciate and pay forward what you have been given in abundance for those less fortunate than you. That is not selfish gratification, it becomes your second nature, focused, content and genuine. This kind of peace no one can take away from you and I believe this is what we all need or are searching for now, in the context of this unstable world we live in today. Yes, there are too many orphans in the world, too many poor people, too much suffering. And yes, we cannot solve it all alone. But together, joined by a common passion and a common goal, we can change their world, one at a time. I have done it, it’s possible, it’s within your grasp!
