Reflexión de Musulmana Mexicana a casi un Mes del Sismo
Reflexión de Musulmana Mexicana a casi un Mes del Sismo
Agradecida con Allah por esta Oportunidad!
por Grecia Rodriguez
Estamos a días para que se cumpla un mes del terremoto del 19 de Septiembre y aún hay muchas personas que no han podido descansar y recuperarse porque el bienestar de sus vecinos y comunidad es más importante para ellos. El ver que este acontecimiento ha propiciado la convivencia de los que los rodean les da tal satisfacción que se les van las ganas de descansar.
Ya saben que no me gustan las cursilerías pero esto hasta me hace llorar. Que hermoso tener la oportunidad de conocer lo mejor de los mexicanos; sus sonrisas aún en la desgracia, su lado cooperativo, su solidaridad, su hermandad, su apoyo desinteresado.
Ya se que no entienden español pero gracias ‘Helping Hand US‘ por darme la oportunidad de conocer lo mejor de mi país y la realidad de las comunidades, porque una cosa es saber que hay mucha gente olvidada y que el gobierno es una porquería y otra cosa es verlo con tus propios ojos.
