India and Nepal 2022
I left my township of Hlaing Thayar this afternoon on the main route home with hundreds of people living in makeshift shacks on the roadside. It's a tough life out here.
Tonight I was in a brand new mall with ultra modern shopping and all the latest technology, choice of good restaurants and a more affluent lifestyle.
The contrast takes some getting used to.
I met up tonight with two midwives, Sarah from Belgium and Anna from the UK who is here with her husband Andy, and Christianne from France together with Cora from the Philippines. They are all VSO volunteers working in Myanmar.
Their experiences in countries all over the world and here in Myanmar are hugely impressive. It seems like once you have got the volunteer bug, it stays with you for some time.
