Message | Im speechless!...i dont know i have the same feeling as u way back in ur 90s..searching "living your life". I'd worked with the South East Asian Refugees at Philippine Refugee Camp for 9 years as a community organizer and administartion officer,i'd never felt that im working...i really enjoyed every minute id spent with them...food, shelter,security, water,every aspect of refugee life in the camp, till processing their papers to their country of final resettlement. i resigned in 1992 for the sake of my childrens education in Manila. I went into bussiness for 16 yrs and yet there is this emptiness in my heart...the passion to work for humanitarian cause, travelling, working with and for people. It took me alot of meditation, deep thinking , soul searching till i finally packed my things, begged my 4 kids ( 21, 20,18 and 12 yrs old) to understand me, moreso with the husband, i love them very much but there is this emptiness i have to fill up...now im here in Cambodia tryin to find my way back to work for humanitarian cause...You gave me so much inspiration to move on...the life u have is what i love...its just an accident id seen "The Road to Horizon" i even thought its a song that i open it....maybe its not yet late..im 47yrs old now...but working for humanity gave me strength and feeling young again...more power to you...ur a gift to humanity..my salutes to you....God speed
