印度大朋友Namrata的分享

小朋友为她画的手

刚从德里回来不久，今天清晨收到印度大朋友Namrata的分享，她因考试和实习，有近三个月没有和小朋友见面了，虽保持着联系，但内心还是沮丧。昨天去了小朋友在贫民窟（Kanak Durga）的家，小朋友Zainab和她妹妹，母亲都对她好亲切，帮她做这做那的，让她喜悦和感动后的分享。我想很多志愿者都能读英文，就在此和大家分享了。

Best day of my journey 29.07.14

Yesterday was the best day of my BFLF journey. It was Eid and I went to Zainab's house for celebration. She looked extremely pretty. I reached there at 2pm. Because it was festival I took sweets for her house, chocolates for kids and a parandi for Zainab as her Eid gift. I Went around meeting her entire extended family, playing with her cousins, chatting with her new bhabhis and her mom. We ate a lot from channas to kheer and amazing dahi bhallas. They have a custom of giving a token of Rs50 Eidi to all the children in the house. Her mother came very sweetly and gave me my Eidi too.

At around 5pm her little sister asked why she didn't put Mehendi for me so she said she will and I happily agreed too.  

She was putting the very amazing design when she told me that she had done her first earning project where she did the bridal Mehendi for a girl in her locality and earned Rs 500. I was so stunned and so extremely proud of her. I asked her to come to my place for Karwa Chauth for which she said didi you ask  my mom. I said ok and the topic ended for the time being. After around half an hour her mom came and I asked her if she could come to my place for the same, this was a normal question but I got the most amazing thing to hear from her mom, she said, "I trust you and I will speak to her dad". For 5mins I was blank, shocked with happiness. I didn't know how to react. After that when the feeling sank in I felt so much more responsible, I felt loved not only from my little friend but even her family, felt that I did really do something even if I myself used to think that I didn't.  

Randy Sir, Kiran Ma'am and Anirudh's words of encouragement and belief replayed in my head. I had really lost faith, I was so de-motivated that I could not see a visible difference and impact that I was making in her life that I was going to quit the program at one point. But I am so glad that I didn't.  

One day, 3words and so much of love received. I can not express what I felt yesterday but the entire day today too I had a big smile on my face because of it.  
I met zainab yesterday after almost 3 months but it was so nice going back to her. In the entire rush of life the 4 hours yesterday that I spent there gave me such a happy feeling. We don't talk much, only point to point questions, lots of silence and now I'm sure a lot of love and unconditional positivity.  She's reached 11th class now so I've been really after her to improve on her English vocabulary any grammar so she promised me yesterday that she will read one book every week.

I'm so glad I didn't give up and most of all I am thankful to the entire Udayan Care family.

Lots and lots of love and Thanku
Namrata

“felt that I did really do something even if I myself used to think that I didn't.  ”不知道为什么，看到这句特别的感动，眼睛有点酸酸的。这条路带着我们走向了以前觉得不可能踏上的道路，看到了没有想到的震撼人心的美景，感恩

such unconditional positivity is not hypocrisy ,whereas the true faith of love . i believe that's one of the best way to see the paradise of  soul .

叶先生近来可好？一直没有去陪伴心旅，没见到您，所以在这里问候您一下，祝您一切安好！

看到叶先生的这个帖子已经有些日子了，但限于个人英语水平，看得不是很明白，所以总是屡屡来看贴，又总是逃跑了。
逃跑的理由千千万，要是一点点看下来，再留白些不懂的地方，总还是可以的吧，所以冒昧地边看边尝试着翻译，等待伙伴的指点了。

2014年7月29日，BFLF之旅中最美好一天

昨天是我BFLF之旅中最美好一天。那天是开斋节，我去了Zainab家一起庆祝这个节日。这天，她看上去非常漂亮。我是下午2点到她家的，因为是节日，我便带了些糖果给她的家人，带了些巧克力给她家的孩子们，带了parandi作为开斋节给Zainab的礼物。她带我参观了她的家，介绍了她所有的家人和亲戚给我认识，我和她的堂兄弟姐妹们玩耍，和她的bhabhis和母亲闲聊。我们吃了很多好吃的，有channas、kheer，让我感到吃惊的是，我居然还吃到了dahi bhallas。他们有个习惯，家里的长辈会给房子里所有的孩子每人Rs50 Eidi，Zainab的母亲笑吟吟地走到我身边也给了我一份。

大约下午5点左右，Zainab的小妹妹问她，她为什么没有给我做手绘？她说她会给我做，我也很开心并同意她给我做。

她一边在我的手上画着美妙的图案，一边告诉我，因为她给当地一位出嫁的女孩画婚礼上的手绘而得到了她的第一笔收入，是Rs 500。这不禁让我大吃一惊，令我特别为她而骄傲。为了KarwaChauth我邀请她来我的住处，她问我，是否可以让我征得她母亲的同意？我说没问题，这时时间也差不多了。大约一个半小时后，她的母亲来了，我问她母亲，我是否可以带她的女儿到我的住处庆祝开斋节？虽然这是一个很常规的邀请询问，但我从她母亲这里得到了非常让我难忘的回答：“我相信你，我将会告诉她父亲的。”大约足足5分钟里，快乐让我的大脑一片空白，我不知道该如何反应，当我逐渐冷静下来，我感到了更多的责任。我感受到了爱，不仅仅从我的小朋友这里，更从小朋友的家人这里，我感觉到或许我的确做了些什么，尽管我过去常常不觉得自己做了什么。

亲爱的叶先生，Kiran Ma'am和Anirudh激励和信仰的话语在我脑中重现。我曾经真的失去过信仰。我曾经一度失去了动力和生活的热情，以至于我看不到和小朋友交往中，在她生活中对她产生的影响，也因此我一度想退出大朋友项目，但是我现在是多么高兴自己当初没有这样做。

那天，“I TRUST YOU”这三个字让我收获了丰盛的爱，令我难以表达我当时所感受到的，今天，因为这份爱，我的脸上始终充盈着爱的快乐。

我和Zainab见面是在我们结对将近3个月后的时间，但是和她的见面感觉如此之好。在昨天短短的4个小时时间里，我在她家感受到如此快乐的心情。我们并没有聊很多，大多是你问我答的样子，有时我们彼此无话，只是相互静静的坐着。现在，我相信爱和无保留的付出是值得的。她现在上11年级，因此我督促她要提高英语单词和语法水平，昨天她答应我会每周读一本英语书。

我是如此开心自己没有放弃大朋友项目，并把我的感谢给予这个Udayan Care family。

爱与感谢给您

Namrata

两个感谢，谢谢叶先生的分享，谢谢金粒的用心翻译。我也利用整整一下午时间，边查字典边看文章，感觉还是金粒翻译的比较好！
最近刚刚家访，看了我们大朋友的分享后，突然感觉到和印度大朋友Namrata分享有很多相似，不管我们在什么国家，一样的长期陪伴就有一样的感觉，在爱的陪伴中，小朋友的成长，小朋友家人对大朋友的关爱，让我们做为大朋友感觉收获更多，有人曾经说过你给予的越多收获就越多，没有回报的付出，得到反而更加丰盛！

高赞了，魏佳，还要等其他伙伴来帮着把里面看不懂的地方解释解释呢。
