Oakland California in the streets, constant flow of shouts, claps, radiant smiles, and loud horns accompanying vehicles passing thru busy intersection – a weekly routine every Saturday!
But the most deeply touching thing that, amongst everything else that keeps me out on the streets, is the faces of the children in the cars passing by: the kids in the back seat that scramble to roll down the window so they can hang out shouting their approval, or the shy child that sits back grinning with a tiny wave, or the little girl who stares with tears in her eyes as she grabs her mother’s hand and point at us.
Showing the children especially that they are not alone and telling them “We got this”!
