There is a program in the Philappines that is appealing, but the school requires bible reading and church attendence. <br />I am still thinking of doing a practicum there, but I do not know much about the Philappines. <br />Kids complicate the equation :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923191003698738067.post-8158048066773849522011-02-26T17:46:20.828-07:002011-02-26T17:46:20.828-07:00Prairie Nymph asks:

I know I would probably be murdered in Latin America if I did something like that."<br /><br />I showed my wife your comment and asked her if she felt those atheists hanging a banner like that in a very poor, very uneducated slum area of Cavite was in any way dangerous (we visited Cavite several times over Christmas - my wife is from Paranaque City, about an hour or so drive to the north)<br /><br />She said that she thought the adults would be a little suspicious of an openly non-religious charity visiting them, but I have never yet met a Filipino who turned down food (believe me, these people love to eat - and I mean that in a good way!) But she said they were in no danger, as they still have more a sense of hospitality to thier own. (I, on the other hand, white anglo-spanglish-saxon that I am might find myself in a bit of a pickle if I tried such a stunt). <br /><br />She told me, quite frankly, that she would feel safer as an open atheist in a rural slum area in Cavite than a rural slum area in the United States.
