What do I do when my love is away.(Does it worry you to be alone)How do I feel by the end of the day(Are you sad because you're on your own)No, I get by with a little help from my friends,Mmm, get high with a little help from my friends,Mmm, gonna to try with a little help from my friends..These are lines from the song of Beatles“With a Little Help from My Friends”.The chorus part was played in my mind several times last week. Ate Mina and Juanito from PhilippinesEva from Kenya - she was also a fellow volunteer when I was in BangladeshIt was not a good week for me. My brain waspreoccupied of issues and challenges that I am facing in my placement . But then, it seems that my friends here (Tanzania) - they are also fellow volunteers; sensed my dilemma. I’ve got unexpected calls and sms from them asking my condition.With Bryan (from Canada) - during our ICT (In country Training)I was not able to give them specific answers. They know that I have trouble of weighing possible options. But I am definite that whatever decisions I’ll make, they will be there to support me.I am grateful that I have them.   With their help and encouragement, I’ll get by for sure."Friends are those rare people who ask how you are and then wait for the answer." ~Author Unknown
