Eskimo Friends

(excerpted from the Travel Journal, Pensamientos at www.ParkerSnyder.com)
This is the story of Mongolian Orphans. Let the music of Damien Rice flood your soul...
October 31, 2005 Ulanbataar, Mongolia, Verbist Care Center (Вэрьист Тoь)
The kids in my classes are exceptional kids. One of the boys spent two years on the streets before leaving the steam pipes underground for the promise of a regular meal. Since coming to the Verbist Center his demeanor has changed. He's healthy, smiles a lot and dreams one day of becoming a professional guitar player. "Like Bono of U2," he tells me, showing his ability to pick guitar strings over his hip pocket. Then two of the older boys, Amarsana and Ganbataar, lead me across town in search of a pumpkin. We find one between rows of eggplant and cabbage. The pumpkin is dark, orange and round. It's small but perfect for carving. Then we go to the candy store for a cheap bag of goodies and the market to buy a basketball. The basketball is a surprise. What is a party without a surprise?
