Phone Calls

We arrived at VSO Office, me, Hannah (the other new volunteer) and Mike very early however everybody is already there with two of the volunteers. All of them have smiles in their faces. They warmly welcome us and after a few pleasantries, ICT officially started. The day come and go and now we are heading to the guesthouse where we will stay for at least 4 days before going to our new home.

Me and Hannah were chatting while unloading our clothes into the dress cabinet when I was summoned downstairs by the lady of the house. On the way down, I was wondering what it could be. Apparently, a week before I arrived there are lots of people calling the guesthouse and inquiring about me. She showed me a long list which indicates the dates, time, phone number and name of people calling for me. Wow, I felt flattered by it. Imagine, one week before my arrival and these people are calling on me already. Now again, I said to myself, this is not bad at all. I am very lucky indeed. I might have a little stroke of unluckiness as regards to my suitcase but I am still overwhelmed by all the luck that comes my way. I copied all the names and phone number and head back to my room and joyfully share my story to Hannah (by the way, we shared the room for the duration of our stay in the guest house).
