Home Away From Home

Sometimes I feel like I am losing it. I just can't do all the things around me that need to get done, the move and stuff for the new house, the coming back to London, the reunions with old friends, the training, the studying and most of all the NGO things accumulate and I just seem not to be able to cope. I sleep worse every day, I am more tired when I woke up, tonight I even dreamt of FSA regulation. And my to do list keeps growing and I am the bottleneck in so many things. In fact, I am almost not being able to run a to do list anymore. Some days it is hard to see the light in the end of the tunnel, or shall I say the crosses all over the to do list. I don't know where to start, I have troubles prioritizing and I don't see how it can get better. We are too few for what we are doing and I am afraid sometimes it can all fall apart. I just had to let it out, I can't always keep the spirits up...

This year, thanks to a group of friends, my birthday wish has once again come true. For my 28th birthday, I asked you to help me feed and bring to school 70 children between the ages of 3 and 6. With friends' help, I raised 1790 Euros, which net of paypal fees, allows me to give one meal a day and schooling to 30 children for an entire year! I can't tell you how lucky I feel to have friends like you. I may not have made it to 70, but I am way better than before. And I have not given up just yet. Even though the kids have their lessons under a tree, they are privileged to get a meal before going home, perhaps the only meal in their day. A Little Gesture (NGO) will not only seek to raise the remaining funds, but also complement the aid with school supplies and a construction project to give a roof to this school. With little gestures, our dreams do come true. I want to thank those who helped for your little gestures, for making my birthday wish happen, for being my friends! -----...
