Here to help.

A couple of weeks ago, a friend from my Nicaragua trips emailed and wondered about a cartoon I'd drawn from the 2007 trip.
I'd drawn it on the back of a Tip Top restaurant place mat. It was at the end of a seriously long, tiring, and strained week and a half in which the entire group look like they'd been run over by various trucks.
We were tired.
I drew the cartoon hurriedly, obviously exaggerating a bit, though it wasn't too far off. It was an attempt to not only illustrate our tiredness and the humor of it all, but the concept we Americans tend to have when we come down on such trips.
You know, the idea that we're here to help, and then we work in such a flurry of activity that we end up needing help while at the same time not always being so helpful despite the energy expended.
That kind of thing.
