A house, some bread, some love

Today I’ve got just a few words for you, and they aren’t mine:

“I care about a bed. I care about a roof, some bread, love for the all that politicians dissolve into just a few.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about this idea as it pertains to kids. Join me tomorrow morning at 8 Costa Rica/10 ET for another short Facebook Live to celebrate some of the people who are closing gaps for kids during this crisis. I’ll be at https://www.facebook.com/costaricadailyboost/. 

And if you have a favorite Carmen Naranjo quotation or book, let me know: I’m thinking it’s about time to learn some more about this renowned Costa Rican author.
