I have been in Cherikot for just over two weeks now. It is hard to describe how amazing it is; but I love it! Mostly I love the boys at the home: I have over 20 new brothers and the Auntie and Uncle at the home are like my family now too.
I hardly feel like I am working here. It the holiday season right now so the boys dont have school. All I do all day is play football, watch TV, do craft projects, and teach yoga and dance!
And because it is the holiday season, I am getting to witness some really cool religious and cultural traditions. We slaughtered two goats, played on a giant swing, and I got tikka (blessings) and presents from Auntie and Uncle as if I was their real daughter.
I dont have time to go into much detail, but I am having the most amazing experience of my life here. You will have to wait until I return to Kathmandu to hear the rest!
More similarities! We slaughtered a goat at Daraja, and I got to drink the blood... disgusting. But definitely interesting to see (and taste). I haven't been a very good vegetarian...
