I have read that a lower protein diet- that is a plant/grain based causes puberty to come later than with our meat/dairy heavy western diet. So I am wondering if that is what you are seeing,<BR/>or it could be the malnutrition or a combo of both factors?Kimberlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16236154320298149958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715285.post-88082607638024160422008-06-28T06:48:00.000-05:002008-06-28T06:48:00.000-05:00the faces of those families are forever etched in my mind Erin -<BR/><BR/>I was inspired by the fact that after all you have endured -your love and compassion for your fellow man is still HUGE!<BR/><BR/>You have a beautiful family!<BR/><BR/>Julia:)JuJu -http://www.blogger.com/profile/09824729273285115683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715285.post-19492775944012844752008-06-28T04:21:00.000-05:002008-06-28T04:21:00.000-05:00Being able to joke in a foreign language is one of the "proofs" of having mastered it, according to linguists. It means you get the culture. Extra points for making laugh a crowd amid the chaos.alehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00659742938215909205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715285.post-39806231095931069992008-06-27T23:04:00.000-05:002008-06-27T23:04:00.000-05:00What an incredible thing. I know you, Julia, and Brian aren't looking for pats on the back, so I won't do that (much). I will say that you are touching those families in ways they'll never truly understand, but will forever be grateful.
