I can't find the words to describe last week... @buildon @mistersmims did :
"I got to witness this man share his story today about why he was going to school in his forties for the first time. He quietly replied, "All my life I felt like I was dumb. I can now read and write." We asked him what he enjoyed about learning. He said five powerful words, "I can write my name." It is very hard for me to put into words the feeling I have speaking about witnessing this man write his name for us on the chalkboard. He has gone more than half of his life not knowing how to write, but now because of this school that @buildon constructed in the village next to ours (last year), he can now proudly write his name. It was one of the most simple, yet profound things I have ever witnessed. Equally heartbreaking and heart filling. I was immediately struck by all the things I have been blessed with and have been fortunate enough to have in my life, that I take for granted on a daily basis.
There were many times during this trip that I was cut open with that revelation. We were welcomed with a generosity u like anything I have ever encountered. We were treated as if we were family. And all of this was coming from a village of people living in extreme poverty. No toilets. No running water. They eat rice and potatoes for almost every meal. The most modern luxury was electricity that came on for a few random hours throughout the day. And they never complained. They fed us and washed our hands for us before and after every meal. We asked each other questions. We sang songs. We laughed around the familial campfire before going to bed at 8:30pm to wake up again before the sun and do it all again. A hard and simple life. We met many villagers who have a desire to go to school but have had no opportunities. Most of them are farmers and work from the crack of dawn to be able to put food on the table. The Tharu people were slaves until only 15 years ago. They are creating the foundation of a modern society from the ground up because they've been financially, politically, and socially oppressed for hundreds of years....
