Day 26 - The Last day - vol 2

This afternoon, it was only me and one more volunteer girl at Agape. Others decided to stay at the volunteer house to pack and sort everything out then chill out. As it was my last day, I wanted to stay as long as I can. I found my girl and told her, I brought a laptop so I can show her photos. She wanted to see the one I took in England so I showed her the picture of my best friend's wedding, Cambridge, my place, and so on. Actually, another girl wanted to see it too and she was questioning lots of things, then, my girl, she has fall a sleep in my shoulder. The other girl wanted to play a game on my computer so I let her play that & I was just relaxing with my girl in my arm. It was lovely afternoon. We were sitting on the couch and I was holding her head, chatting with other girl sometime, looking around the room, wind breezed... I was just so comfortable. Then... there was a time to go. I told my girl that “I want you to remember that I love you more than you thinks. Dont forget that I am thinking about you all the time even Im not around. Agape is not the only world, there are another world outside and you can go out there. Study at a school is sometime boring but it will help you and make your dream come true in the future so work as best as you can. Then, I am waiting for you to come to London one day, so I will pick you up from the Heathrow airport.” It may sound a dream for her now but I wanted her to think that everything she dreams is possible. She is only 14 yrs old still. I didnt want her to give up on her dream. She said she want to get a job that she can work for a children. I chose my job with a same reason and I have came this far, volunteering in South Africa for children. I never dreamed that I can do this when I was 14. You never know what happens in your future. My sweet girl didnt speak anything while I was talking but there were tears falling from her eyes one after another. Only thing she spoke was why I cant take her with me. It squeezed my heart because I do think and dream about it a lot. How she will react if I take her to a beach, what food does she like to eat after we went out, will she like to go for a cloths shopping with me, Ive got my friend's wedding coming in France, will she like to come with me... it is my fantasy I know but I do envy those have got kids now, it must be so rewarding to see their kids smile everyday.


I gave her big hugs and kisses and got onto the bus...


In the evening, we had a BBQ as a farewell party. One of the girl, Barbie is going for a 2 weeks holiday with her mum who has joined Barbie today in South Africa then three girls are going back to Holland tomorrow and I am going to the Capetown. One girl will stay and continue a volunteer work for another 4 weeks. But we have promised to meet up once this year, hopefully this summer, in Holland. I never been to Holland and now got local guide for Amsterdam and Rotterdam!
