This is gonna be hard to do, but i gotta say goodbye. Let me explain in full- A couple of months back, I applied for a job working in India with Leprosy Mission, they are an organisation that work in schools and hospitals with Children with the well known problem. I only half though about the application, primarily because i never thought i would get the job. Turns out they want three people, and that they were not origianlly gonna pick me, untill they checked my references again after one of the three pulled out. Turns out they show up on my graduation day, apoligise for the late invite, and ask me to come with them to india this saturday... The intiial period starts this summer lasting till the end of September, its a trial period to see if i like it, and if they like me. After which, my contract can be extended for a further three years if i so wish. Im saying goodbye, cause I doubt i will have the capabilities or the time for regualr internet time. I dont know were im staying, and i wont be making enough money to be spending it on stuff like this. Its mostly field work, and i'll be moving around alot. This is gonna be a hard goodbye, Ive made many friends here, and its hard enough saying goodbye to my friends and family at home. So, this week will be a bit mad as i pack and close my life up, but Im not officially gone till saturday

Wow, India. That is a crowded and dirty place. I don't know if you are going to like there, but I guess you're not going there to sight-see. Hmm.
Well, I had a friend who went to Nicaragua for a full season - to help build shelters for orphans - and she initially did not think she was going to have internet access but she ended up at a place where she could have it... perhaps the same will be true for you?
If you ever do get access to internet, even if you do not have much time for it, please write us and let us know how it is going occasionally, because that sounds like a fascinating adventure you'll be going on!
Best of luck, Buffster!

Wow, Buff, that's...
Completely taken me by surprise, I have to admit. If this is what you truly want from your life though, I hope you find it rewarding and everything that you'd hoped.
Say not goodbye, but adieu for now.

Buff, we never got the chance to get to know each other, but I am glad we at least had the chance to meet. I hope things go really well for you. Hopefully you will be able to stay in contact with us occasionally, if not more, and let us know how things are going. We'll miss having you around. Take care and we will keep you in our prayers.

Good luck and have fun!
If you do get a chance, stop by and say hi, just so we know you're alive.
And don't forget that you're welcome back when you get done there, no matter how long it's been.
I, for one, look forward to hearing about your adventures, trials and tribulations. ;D

I admire your ability to make this choice, Buffy. I would have a much too difficult a time leaving my life here to go over and do what you're doing. Good luck with everything. Try to keep in touch.

miss Buffy, your decision reflects who u are; one tough cookie!
it's very rare to see people making such decision as most would look out for themselves first before others. it is a blessing on us to know a great person such as u who's very selfless in giving up 3 years (which i'm quite sure) of your life for others.
sincerely, GOD BLESS YOU!
note: i hope this isn't goodbye. come back anytime, don't unsubscribe your acc here & we hope to see u around. maybe post some pix of u there.
take care!

Buffy, I don't know much about you but your desire to go to such a needful place as India speaks volumes about your compassion and character. It will be a cultural adjustment and you will never be the same again. You will grow wise beyond your years. Keep the information and write us if you need anything. Which you will!! May God bless you and keep you from all harm
