I'll be honest, there are several things I enjoy about living here, but many things that I don't agree with or respect. One of those things is how the workers are treated here. It truly breaks my heart, as they are living away from their families who they now only see once every 2 years, to work 70+ hour weeks for very little money (maybe a few hundred dollars/month...and I'm not exaggerating).
I was able to see where the workers live about a month ago and it was absolutely devastating to see the other side of living here. It was a slap in the face for me to think about my complaints that I have.
There is a article that I saw on Doha News tonight that I wanted to share. Although some of the videos are not filmed here, it is a good representation of the life here for workers...at least for part of their day. If you have time and want to get a sneak peak at different side of life here, feel free to check out the link. These are people who could really use some prayers, as I honestly don't know how they work the hours they do for such little pay. I have such a deep respect for their dedication to serving and providing for their family from afar.
