My sister called & told me to watch it. It was on the National Geographic Channel...

a show called Worlds Apart. Comes on again tonite @ 11:00 CDT. I will tape it then.

It's about a family from Birmingham, AL, more particularly the suburb Mel & I grew up in, who goes to live with a poor African family for a week...in their village. The teenage girl has been friends with my twin nieces since kindergarden. And the teenage boy is a big Auburn fan...LOL Ended up giving his Auburn baseball cap to one of the little village kids.

The Mom apparently wrote into NG & entered some contest, and they won. They went this

past summer, and indicated on the show, it was the best (i.e. enlightening) trip they've ever been on. It brought tears to my eyes.

If you are a National Geographic fan, you REALLY should see this 1 hr show.

Well worth your time.....jmho
