First coming to Nepal was not different than I expected it to be. It is crowded and everything is louder than I am used to it it Europe. Then I came to Asha. I was welcomed from all the kids with the really loud “Namaste” and a Hello. I immediately felt at home. I was asked if I have ideas or games or things to do with the kids. I had a lot of things in mind. During my time here I was allowed to realize a lot of my ideas with the kids. I was so happy that nearly everyone in Nepal speaks English, so there was not a big language barrier. Even the kids understood a lot. During my stay I helped in the lessons and helped where I could. All the teachers were really friendly and always translated to the kids if they did not understand. I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to work at Asha and was able to help.
