thank you for this, for everything; life in Cameroon

i guess this is it, i have been back 2-3 weeks and decided to do one more post before i close this adventure. i don't mean that this adventure will end but it is just the beginning of a new adventure. believe it or not it most ways it feels like i never left but then i walk into a washroom and thank God there is a toilet - dirty or not it is better than an ally =P. i sit with old friends or with family and sometimes while they talk i just wonder why our lives are centered around such insignificant things and i wonder about the racism and judging people do; all the preconceived notions they have no wish to investigate or prove. but that's the way of it i guess, nothing you can do. i am not saying i know everything and am never wrong but i like to think this trip opened my eyes to all i don't know and helps me keep an open mind. if nothing else this trip increased my confidence level by allot! along with thanking God for everything i have and for all the experiences, i know i will never forget my time in Cameroon or my new families and friends. this was not just a trip or vacation or adventure or even volunteering it was a life changing experience and i will just say again- thank you for this, for everything; life in Cameroon
