Dedicated to the 8 million children who were displaced by the 2010 Pakistan floods, to those who choose to serve in any situation, and to my two lovely daughters––Aanyah and Aaliyana, who provide me with the courage to serve time and again.
Rani woke up to shimmering sun rays and raced outside the tent. She squinted at the sun until sunspots danced in front of her eyes. She laughed at the dotted campsite around her.
“It will be a great day,” she sang and danced around the poles of her tent. The sun was a welcome break from days of continuous rain.
