African savanna animals like zebras live in herds and are protected from natural predators like lions because their striped pattern makes it difficult to pick out a single zebra from the group (which confuses the lion because it cannot focus on a single target to attack).
In Africa, it is said, âWater Is Life,â and we at Healing Hands International believe that everything starts with water. How far do you walk to get water? Four miles? One mile? Or is it just a few steps to the faucet? Every day in developing countries, women and children walk an average of 4 miles to collect water for their family. Not only is this chore keeping the children from attending school, but the dirty water they are bringing home is also killing them at an alarming rate!

That's how far a fellow can walk in the course of a single day at Disney World -- a place larger than many countries -- if he is determined to cover the entire magical marshy miasma in one shot. Amusement parks are serious business. Only the strong of foot survive.
