The children have gotten quite a surprise this week as Bina didi from Germany returned to our home for the week to finish her last volunteering week in Nepal. She entertained the children with stories of her travels to Everest base camp, and they were so happy to have her again in the home. Already she has asked our cook to teach her how to make the typical Nepali food, Dal Bhat, so she can try to prepare it for herself and friends at home in Germany when she returns. Also the children requested her to teach them some words and phrases in German one day in class before she leaves. It is beautiful to see the children really becoming interested in the cultural exchange and taking an active role in learning about Bina and her country. It seems the surprise and excitement of having Bina return to visit again has really made them understand the value of these opportunities and these experiences, and now they will try to make the most of it. We are looking forward to a nice rest of the week with our returned sister, home again, home again.
