Today we have yet another person to stay at our place. It’s not a wwoofer, but a girl from our host’s english school. Parents decided to bring her over here for couple of days, so she can have the chance to hear and speak some english, but also experience the life on a project like ours. She’s a lovely 12 years old and i really hope this is not gonna turn into a bad experience, but her english is quite ok, so i’m sure she’s gonna be fine. Yumi is really friendly, even though sometimes too shy, but we do our best in not scaring her!
I cannot decide if the parents sent her to us for the experience or for discipline. We were joking, that Yumi’s parents are gonna remind her about that place and threaten her when she’s not doing homework - might be true.
One farmer family today made us really happy. They brought us a huge bag of rice, pork,
chicken, watermelon and eggs! That’s was really generous of them. So in the evening we had pork and chicken kaboobs on the barbecue. Was a really nice dinner... And we’re saving the watermelon for tomorrow’s tea breaks. At those points you bow really low, because you know they don’t have to be that generous, so you bow not just for the goods you get, but you bow for them as human beings. And inside you’re happy that there are still people like them, who want to be friendly, who want to make other people happy and who want to share. They still haven’t forgotten, that they’re not alone in this big world.
