Comments on: Eight Stages to Volunteering http://davethegrinch.net/2007/05/08/127/ Strange mutterings from stranger people Mon, 05 Apr 2010 18:34:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Kate http://davethegrinch.net/2007/05/08/127/comment-page-1/#comment-549 Kate Mon, 14 May 2007 10:47:20 +0000 http://davethegrinch.net/2007/05/08/127/#comment-549 Hi, So sorry it didn't work out for you, but hope you are better now Sarah. My placement has been challenging shall we say, but got better when another volunteer was dropped off by mistake & decided to stay. I had a couple of days in Chitwan & although I had fun, the heat was pretty unbearable. Say hello to Blighty for me! Kate Hi,

Say hello to Blighty for me!

I applaud your sense of adventure and your stick-to-it-tive-ness. Getting to share your stories, if not the actual experience, is as close as I think I'd like to get to this type of adventure. I'll stick to more traditional tourist locations. R.E.M was on the radio singing 'Stand' the other day and it made me think of you guys. Lots of love! AG I’m so astonished at all you’ve been through.

You have nothing to feel bad about. A good lesson...sometimes, no matter what, circumstances conspire to change plans, no matter what. If you will see my comments to Dave, you will see just how proud I am of the two of you! Ask my kids, (who aren't exactly kids anymore at 20 and 21 and both living on their own in different cities from me) my favorite saying is "sometimes it is as important to learn what we can't do or don't want to do, as it is to learn what we do want". Consider that my sage advice for the month! We read you avidly but because I use a blog reader, I tend not to comment. Love to you both and get well!!!

All I can say is thank God you didn't also tell me about the cockroaches the size of lizards in that e-mail!!! I think I understand, sort of, why you guys are torturing yourselves over this, but I also think you're being too hard on yourselves. I hope your trek thru the mountains goes well. And soon we will all be together in the UK, and I will be able to hug you both, and see for myself that you are healthy and ok!!
