All journeys have secret
destinations of which the traveler is unaware. The world is a book and
those who do not travel read only one page. That’s what I exactly feel when I
walk down the memory lane. I still remember the day when I stepped in Bangladesh
airport with my three other friends (Kiran Ghimire, Kusum Adhikari and Nischal). Unknown people, unknown place, hot air
everywhere and a totally different environment. But when we reached the resort
the scenario had totally changed almost 200 leos in a place who were ready to
roar. Its then when the actual fun began. Opening ceremony, DJ party, competitions,
sightseeing, stalls, camp fire, swimming in the sea, evening walk in the beach
and many more. Seems like a holiday package right? But the story is not over yet.
There I learned what actually leoism was about what lionism was about what were the
actual responsibilities and the motive behind being a leo and what we could do.
They presented how their actions had brought a change in their places and
what we could do as well.With Alexis Vincent Gomes as our honorary guest we
exchanged our experiences and pledged that serving people wholeheartedly would
be the target of our life. All travel has its advantages. If the passenger
visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own. And if fortune
carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it. There were some instances
when I really wanted to return back to Nepal there were times when I never
wanted to go back. There were times when the development of Bangladesh
fascinated me a lot and there were times
the poverty misery and pathetic situation of the women there pinched me. There
were instances when I felt that Karl Marx was right when he stated that there
will always be difference between the have and have not’s but when I saw the
activities of leo there bringing changes in the lives of many individuals I also
realized that one initiation or one step can make a difference collective force
can bring a change and one day the world will surely be a beautiful place to
live in.The multiple youth camp in Gazipur taught me a lot so right here and
right now let’s pledge that wherever we go we will always have leoism in our
blood and promote feeling of fellowship and service.
