Don’t Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest! if you must; but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up, though the pace seems slow;
You might succeed with another blow.

Angeles Anonimos (Anonymous Angels)

In a country where jobs are scarce, it’s nearly impossible to find work if you have a disability. But three friends are fighting to change that. Angeles Anonimos (Anonymous Angels), a Peru based group, trains the disabled and handicapped—regarded by locals as unemployable and often left to beg on the streets—to create fair-trade sterling silver jewelry. When asked about the origin of the group’s name, co-founder Maria Elena says, “Anyone who buys jewelry from us is an anonymous angel.”
