He tells me his story

Sugars level low and no where else to go. I am dangerously hungry, at the point of loosing my direction. It is getting darker now. I find a hotel with restaurant. My waiter apx 24 comes back and forth to the table-a little nervous finally he asks me --what business you do here.

He recognizes me from an article or something. He folds his hands as if to prepare-`madam let me tell you about my people. My friends were not allowed to play with me because I am honest. I tell them that they should not allow anyone to steal from them especially the government--there parents tell them to be quite--they are afraid to do something.

He tells me that he knows what I am doing--he tells me not to give up--that there are more woman here and they make less--this is crazy--you will help with this--dont give up--he continues to give me more history and data to build his case for our programs--I am in shock and begin to tear up. He retreats and lets me gather myself.

Finally he returns and tells me not to worry--he will email everyone he knows--he turns around as he walks away and tells me Now i will turn on the lights so you can see...

Dubrovka the deli girl I see everday tells me that she wants to be Eva, Ana-- something else--I can, she asks--I answer yes Ms. Eva!
