Almost three months after a devastating earthquake, Senior Writer Roger Burks traveled to Sichuan's most affected areas to see the ongoing response and talk to families who are trying to rebuild their lives.
Literally Beautiful
Photo: Norman Ng for Mercy Corps
As someone who loves the intricacies of language, I especially appreciate the elaborate literal translations of many English words into Mandarin Chinese. Today, while helping with a delivery of emergency supplies at a primary school, I learned how the word "philanthropist" translates: "a person of the world with a big heart." As I saw happiness on the faces of the children here today, I couldn't help but think of the thousands of Mercy Corps supporters who made this delivery possible. It's truly a beautiful translation of caring into action. |
