On last Sunday, Dec4, I volunteered at the Mother Theresa house with my friends. It was a really nice experience. We walked through slums to old people's home. They were handicapped, they had dementia or some other mental problems, bad skin infections etc. We volunteered at the women's house. First two hours we rinsed their clothes and took them up to the rooftop to dry. It was really nice. Then we painted their nails and just spent time with them, helped to the bathroom, helped with lunch etc. We were there from 7:30ish-noon ish. It was a really nice and kind of emotional experience. They weren't in a very good condition, but they were so nice and lovely. Even if we don't know many words in Bengali.

Viime sunnuntaina, 4.paiva, menin muutaman kaverin kanssa Aiti Teresa talolle vapaaehtoistoihin. Oltiin vanhusten talolla, naisten rakennuksessa. Mentiin sinne kavellen, slummien poikki. Siella sitten pari tuntia pestiin pyykkia, oltiin viimesella pesupisteella eli huuhdeltiin vaatteet ja vietiin ne katolle kuivumaan. Oli kylla mukavaa, tavattiin niin paljon muita vapaaehtoistyontekijoita. Sitten lakattiin naisten kynsia, oltiin vaan niiden kanssa, avustettiin vessaan, lounaan kanssa jne. Oli kylla mukava kokemus ja ns. koskettava, tai kun ne ei ollu missaan kamalan hyvassa kunnossa. Mutta niin ilosia ja kiitollisia, kun vaan vietti aikaa niiden kanssa vaikka vaan muutaman sanan bengaliks osaa.
