The night is approaching and the bus that will take me to destination would be arriving at 8:00 pm; and suddenly the edge of the aisle comes a little old lady with signs for days that a bath is not given, with two bags full of their belongings, looks that are all too dirty rags. She also brings a cane, but not from a factory but a rough bar taken from a tree branch and two cardboard, which were boxes once. And finally she comes very slowly in front of you, only three steps from you; and she puts the cane on the floor, scatters the two sheets of cardboard on the floor and with great difficulty lies there.  What a sad picture !!

This happened to me a week ago. For family reasons I had to accompany my mother to Asunción, capital of Paraguay (country that is above Argentina). I was returning to Santa Cruz and in front of me lay this old lady,   That impotence! She did not sleep all on the cards. only the legs and hips were upon them, the rest his back and head directly on the cold floor.  She covered her as well as she could and got ready to spend the night!

What I could do for her?

 I kindly talked to her and offered her the only package of cookies I had. First she did not understand me and finally spoke to me but I could not understand what she said, and I realized she was speaking another language, possibly Guarani that is the official language of Paraguay. The old lady put the package inside his blanket but after half an hour, I didn’t control the time, she shot out the package, as you see in the picture.   I didn’t know what she thought; I can not imagine that pass through her mind, God only knows. I decided to leave the package there and I left the place. I Returned 5 minutes later and the package was no more, no one was cleaning the place, possibly one of the many who traveled offering something would have taken.

This experience left me a big mark in my heart, I pray for this and so many people in the world suffering and in desperate need of divine help.
