True love

True love embraces a feeling of responsibility. It accepts the other person just like he or she is, with all weaknesses and strong points. It is not love, if we appreciate someone’s strong points only. We must accept the weaknesses as well, and with our effort, patience, and understanding we must help him or her to transform.

On pense à toi, Thomas

Cher Thomas,

Je me souviens très bien du premier jour où tu es arrivé au bureau à Bangkok. Je me rappelle aussi des missions où l’on partait travailler ensemble, des déjeuners au resto bleu, de l’organisation de super vacances, des belles photos que tu m’as appris à faire, des vidéos, des chansons… Merci beaucoup pour tout ce que tu as partagé avec moi… J’ai juste regardé le taxi partir, sous la pluie… et j’ai su que tu étais bien arrivé et où que tu sois arrivé aujourd’hui, j’espère que tu y es heureux…

ด้วยรัก

P.S. j'attends toujours la suite de Desperate Housewives :)

See some momento here

Come and gone....

I still remember my first arrival here. I don’t know anybody. It was difficult for me to work with the people who have not the same tradition, who have the different language. I was wonder how they work with Thai people (local people who do not speak English at all!!) or they might be communicating with the people with their heart! Anyway, I know they have sense of volunteer!! It’s very difficult this feeling. But they said to me ‘You will see the new one. They are all very nice and kind’. We always said “See you in France or one day in Thailand. I’ll be back here one day” About one year or a little bit more; we learn to know each other. I teach them the words necessaries in daily life in Thai. They teach me the expressions in French also the slangs. Again and again, people come and gone. Again and again we transport their baggage. Again and again the Taxi arrives in front of the house and takes them away. Again and again we say good bye! …This is the way that we love… Like its forever… Then live the rest of our life… …But not together…

Merci Alexandre, Anne, Thérèse, Guillaume, Etienne, Loïc, Véro, Claire, Thomas et Géraldine de Monpeurt.
