The last two days went so fast, and I could not believe that very soon I would be gone, no teaching, no bedtime stories, no hearing the kids laugh…I was very sad and I just wanted to take them with me, take care of them, have them by my side. As another volunteer friend well said… ‘Maria, it is so strange to feel so safe when these boys are sitting next to me, I know they would do everything to protect me!’ and she’s right, so true!You could see their respect and appreciation, wanted to make sure you are ok, offer you to eat from their food, what a privilege for me to have met them.
I’m so glad to have taken part as a volunteer at Grandsons of Abraham , it was such a big appreciation lesson about life, feel lucky that I’ve been to Africa and I know that I’m going back to see and learn more, offer my help, and see again the beautiful smile of the children!!!
Peace & love
Maria P
