I arrived at Dayspring Home a month ago. In a few days, I will go back to my country, 12,500 km away westward. As I think back to these past thirty days and I put in my backpack as many things as I can:
I take Makesh’s pertinence, Williams’ curiosity and Walla’s wisdom. I take Haraharan’s patience, Nalaya’s energy and Danapal’s discretion. I take Djenida’s love, Malathi’s games, Elakiya’s gentleness and Santhos’ hugs. I take Jowel’s jokes, Dhanalakshmi’s happiness, and Vaishaili laugh. I take Esaki’s pout, Kudipandi’s amazement, Muenieshwari’ cheekiness and her sister Selvi’s tenderness. I take Ravi’s humor, Shivakumar’s songs, Prakash’s presence and Aiyyer’s vigor. I take Dana’s elegance, Rajarajeshwari’s simplicity, Nanthini and Mahalakshmi’s Tamil lessons. I take Elizabeth’s delicateness, Valarmathi’s kindness, Dhanalakshmi’s shy smile, and Marishwari’ smartness. I wrap them gingerly, to carry them safely through a long journey back to regular life.
I will bring back all of this. Spending this month with these children is the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced and this is because of you.
Thank you for your support, and continue to give to these children. They need it, they deserve it, and they will give you back thousand times what you had given to them.
