I am done volunteering now at the child centre and helping the teen ageers at the community centre with their english. I am emotionally exhausted from it all. But it was an amazing experience and I would do it again. The kids are beautiful and some have so much potential and I really hope they succeed in life. or else they will inherit the selling bananas on the street business. To see their smiling faces everyday and their little accomplishments made it worth while. when they all memorized 'may i go to toilet' and 'good morning miss' (that's what they call all their teachers)it made me so happy! And i wouldn't let then go to the bathroom if they didn't say it, we had a couple tense moments there! =)
I moved out of the Nepali families house and it was a bit of a tearful good bye. They are my Nepali family forever and i had to promise to come back very soon! I really loved living like a local. buying food at the market every morning, having tea all the time! Walking to work and saying 'namaste' to people i see every day. But there is so much more to see in Nepal. So this coming sunday we get on a bus and go to the jungle!
So good bye Kathmandu! Hello Chitwan!
