Take the Time !

Take the time ! This must be the hardest to do since I’ve arrived in Yasothon ! But, as Mom and Carol have often repeated, it’s the most important if I want to share and progress on all that I’m experiencing… and needless to say, there is a lot ! So now I vow to block maybe half an hour every few days, to tell you all a bit what all these children and thai environment are bringing into my life – much more than I can ever hope of bringing them, even if I do my most to help !

And perhaps that’s the first thing to understand : as a voluntary worker, we are and will remain always a few steps away from the heart of the project, in which so many thai staff and previous volunteers have invested years of their life. It is a necessary distance, of course more noticeable now that I have just arrived, but thanks to it we can have a special vision of what is being done. And also, even though I think every day about all the people I know : family, circle of friends, over in other parts of the world, it stays crucial to take the time to phone, write, mail – and this also creates a small bubble of time during which I am not at the service of the center… so a necessary distance, of course it will become thinner with time (and the thai language…) and I am glad to be able to live thius experience for you and myself, too.
