July 2nd, its my last day at the orphanage. For personal reasons, I have to go to Thailand tomorrow.. I had such great time with the kids.. I already miss them.. It has been so easy and fast to get attached to them, they are so pure, so innocent, they are beautiful little souls !
I have a surprise for them today when they will come back from school.. I bought 45 news school backpacks .. they are going to school with torn, used bags..I could not stand to see that every morning..
My week has been busy, I went 2 days to Pokhara, to see the Annapurnas mountains, I did not have a chance to do a trek.. I was supposed to go with a group of volunteers, but I had to leave to spend the last 2 days with the kids.. the trip was short, but it was worth it, I had the chance to see almost all the ranges of the annapurnas mountains and take pictures..The weather was very good but very hot.. I saw some fantastic landscapes from the bus. the bus crossed 3 army stoppings, not really fun !
What did I learn here ? Well, never mix poverty and misery, you can be the poorest person on earth but the happiest too.. I learnt to give more but also to receive .. I saw people having nothing but giving a lot.. I learnt to be humble in front of those little kids, they really impressed me.. I lived sometimes in bad conditions ( no running water, no electricity, strikes, injuries), but I had the best time ever in my life..
