Namaste ...
This is my last day today in KTM - I am so incredibly sad to be leaving. I have had the most amazing life changing experiences in this month and have met so many amazing people.
I fly out tomorrow morning and home late Friday night.
There are so many sad stories here in Nepal - makes me appreciate my life so much. The highlight of my last day was going to the children’s home. I took biscuits and lollies with me for the children. There are 11 children (including the son of the couple who look after the children) ranging from 4 to 10 years old and they are the happiest and most well cared for kids. Bhagwan, who invited me to visit, is one out of a group of trekking guides who support the children's home. He also speaks fluent German and teaches German here in KTM.
I sat with the kids and chatted to them while they did their homework and then we all had noodles for a snack and then we played ball and then it was time to go :o(
I got very sad and tried to hug all the kids - a few hugged me but most were shy and just shook my hand and said thank-you. The youngest of the kids - a little 4 year old girl just stole my heart. She got knocked over on the concrete and she was very upset and I grabbed her and put her on my lap to hug her and comfort her and she snuggled in.
