‘See you later’ visit to the NWCSS orphanage; a print of a beautiful photo and something tasty for each child. Gifts and beautiful cards for us. Heart-warming and joyful. Miss you already, dear children. Love you to the moon and back

Visiting the women’s school where Asha is a board member. For various reasons, these women have never completed their education, but now are making up for lost time. The school hours have been adjusted so that they can combine it with their other tasks and everyone pays according to their ability. Empowerment at its best.

Had a super ‘see you later’ party at the Lotus family home with song, dance and taekwondo. Fantastic Afterwards we all went out for dinner; for the kids is was the first time in 5 years. Great night. Extra fun because Imke, Merel and André were there. So much joy. Love you all

Over the years I applied the rule of ‘never saying goodbye’; instead I always say ‘see you later’. That time of the journey has now arrived. Today we had a nice ‘see you later’ lunch with our graduate nurses Fudoma, Tsering and Ellie. It was also my fourth birthday party, complete with cake. 😋 Afterwards we went to say see you later said in the DRC.

It always hurts a little, but luckily I’m sure I’ll come back. Miss you already dear big and small Nepali friends.
