“The small time I have spent here has changed my perspective on many facets of life.”
It is difficult to express in words the trails that the staff at the LDC conquers on a daily basis. The small time I have spent here has changed my perspective on many facets of life. Among them the satisfaction of interacting with people who truly appreciate your attention. Too often in our lives we forget the simple joy we can bring to the eyes of a child. I have found this joy in Nepal and it is even more apparent here with the mentally handicapped to see the children’s faces when we walk into the classroom and to have a child smile back at you in a way that evokes happiness in your heart is a feeling everyone can understand.
Our daily 10-3:30 was not long enough for us and certainly not long enough for the children. I will forever look back at this time with fondness in my heart and a smile on my face. My favorite image is when we arrived in the morning only to find the children watching us from the window. Best of luck to everyone here at the LDC. May the children here keep bringing you the simple joys which are the most valuable.
