I arrived on a Sunday, which means
it’s a day off for the volunteers. The house has about 13 volunteers at the moment- a far cry from
the meager 5 I am used to working with. I must say, I prefer having more
people, or maybe I just prefer having more people like this. All charming,
intelligent, good-looking go-getters- but what would you expect? They've given
their time to a worthy cause- they face
the bugs, monkeys and shower-less days of Nepal smiling. The salt of the earth.
I love every one of them.
Though it was the day off, I couldn't help myself. I was dying to see the boys. I put my things down and within an
hour was waiting on their porch for them to get home from school. Like a puppy,
with each noise I heard I would go running to the gate with the hopes that the
boys were home to play.
After a half an hour of waiting
they arrived. In groups of 2 or 3 they came so I got to re-enact my “I’m SO
HAPPY TO SEE YOU I HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH” reaction over and over. They all remembered me. Called me by name.
Matched my enthusiasm. God, I could relive that moment for the rest of my life.
After the initial SHE’S BACK! Things
settled down surprisingly quickly. It felt more like I’d been away for a long
weekend rather than an entire year. We simply picked up where we left off- with
a guitar, a soccer ball and a lot of teasing. Exactly how things are meant to be.
When I left I had 33 boys. Since
then, 6 of them have gone off to their advanced schooling and one has been reintegrated so I am down to 26. It’s still the same gang for the most part but
I miss those who aren't around.
As for things that have changed-
voices definitely. Heights. Complexions. But they’re still the same cheeky
monkeys they always were. Kind, handsome, and a little wild. The best three
things to be. My heart is so full.
Sounds wonderful! Enjoy your time while you're there!
