Ok,
So I think that this is going to be my last blog post. My plane is taking off in 12 hours. I am so thankful for my experience here, I don’t want to leave the house.
Today was a great last day. I just hung out with the kids for the majority of it. We played, danced and coloured. The kids started to realize that I was leaving the next day, and wrote me cards and drew me pictures. Kassim told me many times how he didn’t want me to leave and how he is going to cry tomorrow. I told him that I am going to call him at home and he can call me whenever he wants.
Ester spent the day hugging and kissing me and asking when I will see her again. The truth is, that I want to go to Tanzania and Zanzibar in the next couple of years and visit my SACH family. The nurse from Zanzibar told me to come visit the clinic in Zanzibar.
I know I have probably been annoying in this blog talking about how much I love this place and how it has honestly changed my life forever. I have volunteered in many different places in my life, but nothing quite like SACH. At SACH the kids here are all so loving and thankful for the work the volunteers put in. It is also nice to know that the kids are returning healthy and can start to live a normal life, go to school and be healthy. I have learnt so much about myself during my time at the house. I want to do something in my life where I can help others in a direct manner. I also know that I want to be able to work with children
This will definitely be a trip that I will always remember and look back on. I am a little nervous to return back to life in the western world. I am starting school on Monday and I will just be getting used to not living in Israel. Hopefully my experience this month will motivate me to focus so I can do something in my life to help others.
I still need to pack, so goodnight for now. I will try to post some pictures once I am home.
