There comes a time in our lives when we must say farewell to friends and family. Today (Friday), it was saying goodbye to our dance instructor, Sheenana (center in above photo), our homestay families and all our dear friends in Heranjal. 
​Having spent seven days with them, we formed a special bond that will transcend across continents and stand the test of time. Our last day was spent sharing our individual stories that define who we are as a leader. We then had our final meal with our homestay families and said our last goodbyes. These final moments didn’t feel like it was going to be our last time. Our jokes and smiles felt like any other normal day with our homestay families; however, deep down we knew that the inevitable departure was approaching. The warm embrace of the little school children felt as if we were not saying farewell, only a simple see you later. Their little faces and gentle hugs made us feel as though we were a part of the community even though we were only visitors. 
​As our rickshaws sped closer and closer to the limits of Heranjal, we shared a moment of silence to appreciate and reflect our time spent in the village. We are grateful for our homestay family’s willingness to share their lives with us and giving us an experience we will never forget. 
​We thank you Heranjal and we hope to see you soon!
