Rain Rain Go Away!

Every year we get a bad rain storm that ends up taking the homes of many Brazilians. It's hard to imagine this type of damage as we live in an apartment but this last rain we were able to see what this could be really like. As you walk down from our apartment there is a cement wall that surrounds a lot of land. This is what occurred to this cement wall after the rain. Now imagine what could happen if you happened to live in a small wooden shack or a house built out of someone else's garbage. Makes you think a little about how blessed we are that we live in nice stable houses. Next time you walk by a cement wall like this or have a nice little rain fall say a little prayer for the people that live in a home that may not be there the next day! I know that is what I will do.
