Exactly one week ago was the farewell party of two Americans Maurice and Alisa. They were half a year here and are now replaced by Manuel and me. The Akil from Munich will also remain until August.
adjacent to our small three-room flat is a large, sacred, prayerful space-like room, the "Temple Hall, will be held out on special days (like last of the" Republic Day "), religious ceremonies and if someone from the city times to be generous and for what ever reason to sacrifice something, he donates a large meal for all the children in here, because we really accommodate the very poorest children.
Thus a meal and also Alisa Maurice donated, and much more: A huge selection of board games, volleyball and soccer balls, frisbees, badminton rackets, and many other little things for Indian children is very important cricket bat! It was organized as a surprise for the children and you should really see their faces when they finally after a long wait were allowed to enter the room: It was the shine of joy and immediately connected with it the credibility to see formally, because it probably never has so much attention had received at once. The only toys which they had previously was now very worn football that has been donated to the physical education from anyone. wanted to keep
But when Alisa ne short speech, began to howl and the Moe Akil was already in separation, because he had to separate after six months of the two and so I stood there, noted I like me slowly in the stomach was also funny and even though I'm really just arrived and have not lived long with the two-soo which does not mean that they are not great and valuable had to cry, including me. But I think more because I had to remember that I have to stand there and say goodbye one evening. I do not like goodbyes. Were kept short speeches, the men from the executive floor thanked him for everything and not with so much affection in the end had expected, they even apologized for any confusion and possible mistakes, because there had been disputes in the past and then there were the delicious food for all. Actually, all children back to their common room when they finished eating, but that night they were allowed to remain for now. It was explained to them that all the toys will be available in our volunteers with a signature ready for collection and that it did bring back your beautiful too. While sitting at normal meal evenings are quiet and give no Mux of himself, may we have our in Bangalore 2.1 sound system purchased in the sacred room and were brought to eating the favorite songs of the children played at full volume.
The moment was kind of brilliant: All the children laughed, jumped and danced around and suddenly the two leaders were stunned first total and as stiff. It was just wonderful, under the close scrutiny of the framed, see, with flowers and incense sticks adorned Sarguru (the "patron saint" and namesake of our school) the children so happy and with them it to be regimented, thoughtful, pious, "good conscience" room to work and to really fill it with humanity. Man, I'm back as today! Time is wailed with grief because the great time was over and time for joy, because they have ever been. I tried however to see my own farewell party is positive, because even this beautiful part could be part of it, but until that is still a lot of water of the Ganges flow down (-:
