Please pray for poor children who face many challenges … their paths are riddled with obstacles. One that doesn't get talked about much is parasites. And there’s no pleasant way to tell you about them. Parasites fester in human and animal waste that flow freely down dirt roads in impoverished communities that lack sanitary facilities. They lurk in contaminated soil and stagnant pools of filthy water that children walk through barefoot – or play in – because they don’t know about the hidden dangers. And they can spread through unwashed hands when people don’t understand the importance of proper hygiene.
