Sometimes it's the little things that really matter.
We went to the kids' old school today and walked with them to the new one. The roads are incredibly mudy and slippery, and of course by the time we arrived at the new school the majority of us were incredibly mud-splattered. My shoes were mudy, of course, but somehow my bag was muddy too, but I was going to clean it off when we got back to the hotel. One of the little schoolgirls I was with, however, saw my muddy shoes and then bent down to try and clean them off for me. Her own shoes were muddy, yet she still wanted to help me clean mine. Then she saw that my bag was muddy, so she took the end of her skirt to try and wipe the mud of my bag. I couldn't believe it, I was incredibly touched by this gesture and I think this is one of those things that will stay with you forever - the goodness' of a little girl's heart.
