I had no particular expectations going to Mulbekh but now I know it was one of the best decisions I have made. Staying long term at one location gave me the opportunity to become part of the society and it was truly and honestly my home for the couple of months. There is sufficient time for traveling around the Ladakh in between the school holiday or when agreed with the principal. The children are very smart and the work with them is very motivating. I have made a lot of friends. There is plenty of room for personal development – studying books, visiting monastery, trekking, traveling.

The preparation at home was very useful. A well thought and prepared approach is essential. The introductory weekend meetings with Brontosaurus were also useful. It was easier to cooperate with the team of volunteers when we already knew each other and we all had the same goal and followed it.  

I’m still in touch with my family in Mulbekh and I hope to spend the next summer there as well, if not as volunteer than as a tourist for sure.
