When we went to Maya Universe
Academy to make further plans for
our "Give Back" project, I had
a nice morning moment with
one of the families living next to
the spider- infested room in the mud house
I was staying in.
(Thank God I had a mosquito net
to protect me! Not that afraid of spiders, but
fist size spiders 10 cm above the bed?
Eeehem,no thanks ;)
The last day I was there
it was Nepali mother's day
& I had some
fruits that I wanted to give the
neighbor family.
The mother told me her husband died a few years back
so she was alone taking care of the 2 kids.
I let the kiddo borrow my camera
& he took plenty of pics of his mother.
When I had a look at the pictures after
I really think he captured different
emotions of what it's like
to be a mother & a single parent;
The responsibility- The concerns-
The hard work, but then again- The joy!
Simply beautiful.
Next week we are meeting up with one of the
founders of Maya Universe
here in Kathmandu to make further plans for
our project;
Building
bio gas toilets for the students, teachers,
the volunteers & all the
other ones contributing at the
school- it's about
100 people using the 1 toilet they got-
EVERY DAY!! And the
closest water source is literally a
10 minute
hike away as you have to climb a small
hilltop to get to the water tap.
Can you even imagine?
