Slow news day in the land of McP...

Transcribed an interview with a woman who started an orphanage for street children in a foreign land at the age of 18.

The most curious thing I heard her say was that what she learned from that experience, and from her experience working with low-income families in this country, is patience -- that you aren't going to see immediate change, that people aren't always going to say thank you -- that you need to let things play out according to the schedule of the individual, and be a safe place for him or her, always.

Eventually, most of them come around.
