Road to Rwanda-----Walking Home, part 2, the next morning.
Sequel to yesterday's post about the little girl asking for money. This morning when I was waiting for my ride, two young men (older teenage/20's) walked by. One of them said, "Hi." I answered, "Hello." The other young man, rubbed his stomach and said, "I am hungry." I put a disgusted look on my face and waved my hand to tell him to go away. The first young man said, "That is rude, isn't it?" I agreed. We talked for a bit about how rude it was and that he needed to tell his friend. By this time the second young man had walked on a few steps and was laughing. I assume there was no hunger involved. And although I may have supported the cultural norms, and stopped some other musungu (foreign white person) from being bothered and helped the gentlemen see that it was inappropriate, .....but I can't help wondering how it possibly shared Christ's love.
