Farewell...

Nii kurb tunne on hetkel. Ma ootan tagasi tulemist ning lund nii väga aga raske on lahkuda. Olen kaks nädalat nüüd jälle VAP programmis lastega tegelnud ning eile oli nendega viimane päev. Hommikuse grupi ajal jäin ma koju sest keegi peab alati kodus olema kui koristaja tuleb, ning Brittany organiseeris nii et kõik pärastlõunase grupi lapsed ka tuleksid hommikul et mulle lahkusmikaardid teha. Mul polnud aimugi sellest muidugi. Pärastlõunal oli mu viimane grupp siis. Tegime palju pilte ning videosid. Kogu aeg ütlesid kui väga nad mind lahkumas ei tahaks näha. Ma hakkan neid niiiiväga igatsema !!! Enne lahkumist andsid nad mulle ühe suure ümbriku kus olid kõikide laste kaardid sees. Ma olin nii üllatunud kui  nad ütlesid et neil on väike kingitus mulle. Mul tulid pisarad kohe silma. Isegi ühel poisil, Gustavol, kes tavaliselt just kõige paremini ei käitu ning keda ma korrale tihti pean kutsuma, tal olid ka pisarad silmas ja siis alles jõudis kohale kui tähtsad me lastele oleme tegelikult, isegi kui sa sellest alati aru ei saa, ning minu siiatulek tasus ikka ära! Õhtul lugesin kõik kaardid läbi, mõned olid isegi nagu kirjad, ja kõigis oli sees kui palju nad mind armastavad ja igatsema hakkavad ning siis hakkas veel kurvem. Ma ütlesin neile et kui ma kunagi tagasi tulen, on see üllatus. Hüvastijätud on ühed kurvemad asjad maailmas L. Teisipäeval oli mul viimane täiskasvanute inglise keele tund, ning jällegi, sama asi. Esmaspäeval kui ma head aega kõigile vabatahtlikele pean ütlema, kes mulle nii lähedaseks on saanud, ma nutan vist terve aja, ma olen nii emotsionaalne selle koha pealt :D Mu lend Miamisse on õnneks 3.30 päeval niiet ei pea väga vara ärkama. Ning teisipäeva hommikul kell 10 jõuan Londonisse.
Mis vahepeal veel juhtunud on siis. Kolisime rannamajast teise vabatahtlike majja sest eile tuli 14 USA keskkooli õpilast koos Honduras Child Alliance esindajaga siia, ja jäävad vist 10 päevaks niiet parem oli nad panna sinna suurde majja. Ma jagan nüüd tuba Brittany ja Dianaga. Mulle nii meeldib siin. Alguses kui ma El Porveniri tulin mulle eriti see maja ei meeldinud kuna see on palju väiksem nign 30 kraadise ilmaga väga kuum, aga nüüd kus see on täis inimesi, ehk siis 6 inimest, nii hubane ja lõbus on siin. Üks uus vabatahtlik tuli ka Põhja- Inglismaalt.
Nüüdseks on 22h järjest vihma sadanud. Eile pärastlõunast alates ning terve öö. Vahepeal oli see nii tugev et tundus et katus kukub sisse. Tänavad on nagu tiigid. Viimati kui nii hullult sadas oli vihmaperiood ning oktoober. Täna pidid kõik VAP grupid kokku tulema ning organiseerisime ühe suure mängu, aga me ennem ujuks kui jookseks jalgpalli väljakul.
Võibolla lähme õhtul 3 lempiira eest piljardit mängima jälle, viimane võimalus 15 US sendi eest mängida :D

I feel so sad at the moment. I’m looking forward to coming back and snow so much but it’s so hard to leave. I’ve been working in VAP again for 2 weeks after coming back from the holidays, and yesterday it was my last day with the children. I stayed home during the morning group yesterday because the cleaning lady came, and Brittany had secetly asked the afternoon kids to come in the morning as well to make me farewell cards. I knew nothing about it of course. The afternoon group was my last then and took lots of photos and videos. They kept telling me how much they don't wanna see me go :( I’m going to miss them soooo much!!! Before leaving they gave me a big envelope that consited of cards the children had made in the morning. I was so surprised when they said they’ve got a little present for me. My eyes teared up immediately. Even one boy, Gustavo, who sometimes doesn’t behave well and I often have to tell him off, had tears in his eyes which was so touching. That’s when I realised how important we are for the children here even when you don’t realise it always and how much appreciated we are, and my volunteering here really payed off! In the evening I read through all the cards, some were like letters, and each one of them said how much they love and miss me, and how good of a teacher/friend they thought I was. I told them that one they when I’ll come back I’m going to surprise them. I’ve always beed bad at putting my emotions into words but I hope they realise how much it all meant to me. I’ve always disliked good byes so much! L Tuesday it was my last evening teaching the adult English class as well, and again, the same. On Monday when I got to say good bye to all the volunteers who all have become so close to me, I’ll probably cry the whole time. I’m just so emotional about these things :D My flight to Miami is at 3.30 pm luckily so don’t have to wake up too early. I’ll arrive in London at 10am on Tuesday.
What else has happened here then. We moved from the Beach House to another volunteer house, because 14 US high school students came here yesterday with the head of Honduras Child Alliance, for 10 days I think. So it was better to put them into the bigger house. I’m sharing the room with Brittany and Diana now and I really like it here. At first when I came to El Porvenir, I didn’t like this house much as the Beach house is much bigger and when its 30 degrees, this house is so hot. But now as the house is filled up, it is so much fun and cozy here. We got a new volunteer from North- England as well, so there’s 6 people living here.
It’s been raining for 22h hours straight now. Started yesterday afternoon and rained the whoooole night. At times the rain was so strong it felt like the roof was going to fall in. The streets look like ponds. Last time it was raining like that we were in the rainy season and it was October. Today the VAP groups were supposed to come together and we had organised a big game for everyone but now it’s off because we could rather swim than run on the football pitch.
Maybe we’ll go and play pool for 3 lempiras again, last chance to play for 15 US cents :P
