Feeling Small – Brian Gold, ABF donor and friend

What would I experience on my 2-day trip with ABF members to Haiti to see the delivery of water from one of the water trucks I help fund?

The anticipation of what I read, what I heard and what I believed… My thoughts were how would seeing the poverty and devastation I expected affect me emotionally?

The answer is, it makes you feel small, it makes you feel that you need to do more, but you soon realize you are doing more…you are doing more than others that are unaware. Your doing your part… a small part but none the less, a part.

In retrospect, small can be big…bigger than nothing, bigger than unaware, bigger than uninvolved….

Get involved, small is good, small matters, small makes the basics of life we all take for granted, a little bit better for the impoverished of Haiti.
