I am a Red Cross youth delegates from Nepal Red Cross Society to Norwegian Red Cross Youth. I will be working here in the Arkershus supporting the Red Cross youth for 10 months.
Delegates from Sudan, Rwanda and we from Nepal had left Oslo and reached Oslo Airport for the departure of our home country on 20th June 2009. I was very excited to be back to Nepal after 10 months. I am on the 12 months youth exchange program among which I had completed my 10 months in Norway and now I was supposed to work two months in Nepal but according to Nepal Red Cross Society I have to work for three months. I was appointed in Kathmandu District Chapter to work and share my experience in this district with youth. After reaching Tribhuvan International Airport I feel so happy that now I had landed on my country on 21 June 2009. I had already asked our National society and also host National Society to change our flight route but they couldn’t able to change it. I had heard that transit in Delhi is not so good because lots of passenger had lost their goods. I also became the victim of that; it’s not only me my co-youth delegate also lost some of goods. The main thing is our lock looked like same but we lost something’s from our suitcase. But the lock of my suitcase was broken and they had metal wire lock on it. I thought they put new lock because my lock might be broken but the reality was different the custom officer in Delhi or whatever who are they; they had broken my lock and theft important things like handy camera and wrist watch and some other gifts. I couldn’t able to claim it because I had already brought bags to my home and knew my things were theft. Why the customs officer used to do it. I want to suggest the entire passenger that please does not keep any valuable things on the baggage and if you noticed your lock is not in your bag than do not receive your bag and open it on Airport in front of security officer or Airlines officer.
It was 14th of June we all the 16 delegates were supposed to meet together again at Haraldsheim but unfortunately we meet only 10 delegates. I was very excited to meet all delegates after 10 months. I was hoping to hear from all the delegates and know their experiences. But I am able to meet all the 16 delegates only on 15th of June it was very different feelings to see all together. We all were on the Home Coming seminar where all delegates had presentation about their experiences in a new country. Presentations of all delegates were very interesting and got chance to learn many new things.
I was also very happy to see the delegates on different national costumes. We almost all delegates spent 5 days together and shared experiences with each other.
I was very happy and also sad because our departure date was coming near. I was happy because I am traveling back to my home land after 10 months and excited to meet all my dear friends and my family members. Even though we have very few facilities in Nepal but also I am excited to be back and with my family and friends and eat varieties of spicy and tasty food. I was sad because I got lots of friends and afraid that when we are going to meet again. Any way I have to leave Norway after my most beautiful time of my life and I think this time will never come back in my life again.
I would like to thank all the dear friends who made my stay more wonderful and memorable and off course Norwegian Red Cross, Nepal Red Cross and all the staff of both societies.
I am expressing mine views and feeling through this blog as been in journey as youth delegate working for Norwegian Red Cross from Nepal Red Cross. I am sharing mine experience working on this very beautiful land with full of honest and very helpful people.
