In reflecting on my time here, here is a list of things I won’t miss and what I will miss!
10 things I won’t miss:
- Kids fighting
- Washing my clothes in the shower
- Spotty internet
- Trash bins next to the toilet
- Way too narrow roads for me to drive
- Driving for 20 min up hills in first gear
- Cigarette smoke
- The look of desperation
- Barbed wire around the refugee camp
- The living conditions
10 things I’ll miss: ( it was hard to come up with only 10)
- The refugees especially the kids
- The smiles and conversations with adult refugees
- Constant appreciation for all that I have
- Conversing about the state of refugee affairs globally
- The sense of helping however small
- Poster-like views of the ocean and sunsets
- Olives, baklava, dolmades, stuffed peppers, gyros …
- New friends from all over the world
- Short term meaningful purpose
- Being able to go to a place and a county I can call “home”
