this is raj.
he has no parents. no family.
he shares his two bedroom house with 35 other orphans
he shares his single bed with another boy.
he decided that we were going to friends.
so he held my hand
and we made lots of friendship bracelets
and he brought me some flowers when i left
and made me cry...
this is raj.
he taught me about life.
that joy is possible.
that it isn't about what you have.
that holding someone's hand can change their life...
this is raj.
i am so glad that he decided we were going to be friends.
that is so beautiful and it must have been awfully hard leaving *sob*
