The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. Erlebnisreiches, Buntes und Schönes. Da die letzten Tage unseres Indienaufenthaltes bereits angebrochen sind und uns die Zeit davon zu rennen scheint, haben wir dieses Mal keine Zeit für große Worte sondern lassen einfach unsere Bilder sprechen. Und lassen sie an unserem Alltag teilhaben.

Farewell to the West now, our minds are open to the East, to all the new faces, new minds and things to see. We are alone here, and our hearts at times they weep. But you will see us through the colours, as the sun sinks in the sea. Now that our time in India is over we are looking back on eight months full of adventures, happiness, tears, smiles, challenges, traditions, festivals, colours, a lot of sharing and learning.

Obwohl wir mit dieser Gruppe zeitweise einige Respektsprobleme hatten, wurde es ein sehr schönes Picknick.

We would like to thank you for giving us this warm welcome and we felt like coming home. We gained new insights in your work and we are proud of being volunteers at your organisation. We hope that we stay in contact and hope to see you.

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb in his skin and walk around in it.
