After many tears shed on Sunday and a couple on Monday when saying good bye to the sweet faced, loving kids, my peers and project leaders it was time for me to go. Leaving more scared to come back to the life I know so well but is so much more complicated than when I left for Mozambique. It reminds me that less is more. We can all say it, think it or want it to be true in this modern life we live (even I being guilty of feeling that but not understanding it truly), until you live it and feel not only content but completely happy without all the amenities we have and desire, you can not appreciate how peaceful simple is.
This journey was worth every sacrifice that was made. My experiences have highlighted qualities that I never knew I had. It opened up my eyes to a new way of life that I never thought imaginable. I left home thinking that I was going to enhance the lives of the unfortunate. In the end it was them who enhanced my life.
