It&rsquo;s cultural, and people wouldn&rsquo;t think of not doing this no matter how they might be struggling. So our Armenia staff made sure to tell families that, even though <a href=\"\/tags\/armenia-bloggers-2015\">a team of bloggers would be visiting<\/a> them, they wouldn&rsquo;t expect this type of hospitality. They only wanted to hear the family&rsquo;s story.<\/p>\n<p>Even though <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.worldvision.org\/content\/dear-rick-and-becky-i-hope-you-get-read-one-day?campaign=20702980\">Anoush<\/a>, a widow with a teenage son, heard the same message, she insisted on going to the store and buying not only coffee and sugar but also the cups with which to serve the group. On that visit, Anoush teaches us all a lesson about the hospitality of the heart.<\/p>\n<h2>Cambodia<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30024\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30024\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30024 lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"When our photographers travel, they visit some of the most generous places in the world.

(&copy;2015 World Vision\/photo by Laura Reinhardt)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>What difference can an act of generosity make? In the case of 14-year-old Srey Neang, it means the chance at a brighter future. She used to live on the streets of Phnom Penh with her mother, who was <a href=\"\/health-news-stories\/hiv-and-aids-facts\">HIV<\/a> positive.<\/p>\n<p>When they came to some of World Vision&rsquo;s nightly training sessions, our staff asked Srey Neang&rsquo;s mother about getting the girl involved in an apprentice program at a beauty salon. For parents living and working on the streets, this is a difficult dilemma. They desperately need the aid of all their children to help earn money. It warmed my heart that her mother took a chance on an opportunity for a better future for her daughter.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty salon owner, Srey Pich, also took a chance by taking on a girl to train. But that chance paid off. Srey Neang is learning and helping with customers.<\/p>\n<p>Of the World Vision team, Srey Neang says, &ldquo;They paid attention to me. They care for me.&rdquo; Sometimes the small act of paying attention can be the biggest act of generosity.<\/p>\n<h2>The Dominican Republic<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30019\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30019\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-30019 lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"When our photographers travel, they visit some of the most generous places in the world.

Every Saturday, you can find Gustavo teaching violin and viola to kids at World Vision&rsquo;s music school.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I teach them what I learned, what I continue to learn, and I also encourage them to find opportunities to fight for their dreams &mdash; that they can accomplish them,&rdquo; Gustavo says.<\/p>\n<p>As a <a href=\"\/sponsor-a-child?campaign=108929315\">sponsored child<\/a>, Gustavo was part of World Vision&rsquo;s children&rsquo;s orchestra. Once he was there, he never looked back. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not sure if it was the music found me or I found the music, but I couldn&rsquo;t wait for Saturday to come so I could go to the music classes.&nbsp;It was a place where we could be free and at peace,&rdquo; he remembers.<\/p>\n<p>He practiced every day for four to six hours. Martin, who heads up the orchestra, mentored him, and now Gustavo passes that mentoring along to his own students both about music and life.
