It’s always the hardest goodbyes that remind us how much a journey meant.
The school in Phaplu held a deeply emotional farewell for Nikita Rykelykhuizen from the Netherlands. After 4 weeks of sharing her heart, her art, and her vibrant energy, it was time for the students and teachers to say "Pheri Bhetaula" (See you again).
There weren`t many dry eyes in the courtyard as the students lined up to offer Khata (traditional silk scarves) and handmade cards to their favorite art teacher. In a place where art classes didn`t exist before her arrival, Nikita gave these children a new way to see the world and themselves.
"The hardest thing in life is to say goodbye to someone you don’t want to leave."
Nikita came to the Himalayas as a volunteer, but she leaves as a daughter of this community. From teaching six different grades to celebrating Losar and hiking the local trails, she embraced every second of the Himalayan life.
Thank you, Nikita, for the colors you’ve left behind in our hearts and our classrooms. Safe travels back to the Netherlands—you will always have a home here in the mountains. 🇳🇵🇳🇱

Beneath the watchful eyes of the sacred Boudhanath Stupa.
Prayer flags in the wind, mantras in the air, and peace in every step around the stupa.
A place where silence speaks louder than words.
