My wife and I took a short trip to another city with a friend and ended up running into one of my friends there. This man told us that his wife was currently in a place near where we live to help her sister who had a premature baby. My wife and another woman went …
Our friend, Angel, invited us to her village. The word ‘village’ in the local language is packed with meaning. Almost everyone who lives in the city has a village.
