Start from here
We took overnight plan finally arrived Bhutan. I got off the plane feeling very tired.
As soon as my feet hit the ground, we heard our friends cheering. I looked up and was shocked by the deep and clean blue sky. What kind of country would this be?
After we were greeted by local friends, we came to the clean bus. Bhutanese friends put our luggage on the roof quickly and orderly, and then we got on the car. Although it was a dirt mountain road along the way, the air was refreshing here.
We set off early the next month to bring the stationery and snacks we brought for the children in Bhutan. When we first arrived at the school, we saw a very clean school with lots of flowers in various bottles and cans. We were afraid to disturb the children in class, so we sent stationery gifts to each child in a fast and orderly way.
When we delivered stationery gifts, each child smiled and expressed their gratitude in English. When I finished passing out the stationaries, I found my face was also smiling like a child.
We also visited monasteries these days and due to our tight schedule, sometimes we have to rush to many places in a day. One day, we arrived at a monastic school when it was getting dark. The student monks at the temple still organized seats for us in an orderly way. And it happened that they did not have electricity power that day. We chanted the scriptures in the hall with oil lamps. The quietness and sacredness can only be felt by being in it.
The days of our journey were spent in joy and I felt a force formed deep down my heart. After coming back for a few days, I still couldn’t calm myself down thinking about what it all meant. A little raining day helped me look into the source of this force and I think it was love and kindness. Let’s start from here.

Donation Support
We sincerely hope that if everyone is willing to contribute a little, these tiny but meaningful supports will eventually become a stream someday, then become a lake, then finally merge into a huge force of help as big as the ocean, benefiting many more children in need.
