As devastating flooding continues to impact communities across Nepal, Patti and I are holding the people of Nepal in our hearts and extending our deepest sympathies to everyone affected.
Patti served as the Peace Corps Associate Director overseeing Nepal from 1993 to 1996. During her time there, she helped place Peace Corps volunteers in communities across the country to teach English, build schools, and promote peace.
This morning, she shared this photo with me along with one of her most cherished memories from her time serving in Nepal:
“The rising sun peeked out from behind the towering mountains as I was awakened by the giggling of children eager to guide me up the 12-inch-wide trail to their mountaintop village.
“They were off and running, pulling me along as they danced around my feet. I kept my eyes fixed on the steep cliff as loose rocks tumbled over the edge.
“‘Why do you keep looking at the cliff instead of the valley?’ they asked.
“‘Oh, I just love studying the flora and fauna,’ I told them.
“It took us all day to reach their village, stopping to bow and greet everyone we passed along the way.
“This photo captures the joy of that unforgettable journey. I will never forget their faces, their laughter, or the warmth they shared with me.
“I have carried those memories in my heart ever since.”
Today, as Nepal faces this devastating flooding, we are thinking of the families and communities who have been impacted and praying for their safety and recovery.
