White skin problems

I wrote the blog last night.
With my mother here I have been even busier. The disabled home work is pretty much finished but there is still some money left. I will give the rest of the money to amarasiri, who I would trust with my life and he will make sure the money is used for the disabled home. Before I leave I will use some money (with permission of donors) for a really poor family that have been badly affected by the landslide a few months ago. I have finally been able to explain the mahouts how I feel about them with the help of Amarasiri. He came to the safari and talked to all the mahouts  (expect karuna who was not there that day) and kuma. He explained that I wasn't feeling very well 3 years ago and that they made me feel so much better. And they same now. They take care of me, help me and I love them for it. I have only one biological sister but I have at least 7 big brothers here in Sri Lanka. I am so dreading the last day... when I have to say goodbye to everyone... I am already thinking about coming back. Manju (one of the mahouts and my brother) had tears in his eyes when talking about me leaving. He said that if he had the money he would pay my ticket so that I could come back soon.  I will do everything I can to come back next summer..  If I could I would probably move here right away. Today we went to sigirya, it is a big rock that you can climb. It was extremely busy but we made it to the top. The difference between the prices for some of these places is amazing. For locals sigirya is only 50 rupees  (30 eurocent) for foreigners 4260 rupees (28 euro). Almost everyday I am confronted with the different treatment just because your skin is white. Tomorrow me and my mother are going to Kandy and staying there one night. I will go see the mahouts tomorrow morning before kandy otherwise there is almost no time left with them..  I am so going to miss amarasiri Delani and the kids... they are like my brother and sister and my nephew and nieces. I love them to bits and they are such good people. I am going to try and help Amarasiri with the project when I get back but it will probably be harder because we won't be face to face.

Amarasiri and the family and my mother went to colombo to some kind of future teller. They believe he has some power to see the future. My mother asked about me and my sister. He said about me that I am a very good person and everybody (animals and people) will need me one day. And that I will be world famous :p

I feel like this blog is now a little bit of everything and I have by far not told everything. It is so hard to explain how life here works and how the people and the culture is. Life here as so many ups and downs but I feel like sri Lanka is part of me now. I can not imagine not living here for at least a few years in the future. We will see what happens, I might become world famous ;)
