As she was driving home that night, a quite weird idea came to her mind. She thought of beginning a long journey around the numerous towns, she inherited enough money to do so. Sally loved discovering new places and meeting new people, so she decided to see the other parts of the world, the hidden face of LIFE!
Yes, it was a gorgeous idea, but it’s not easy to leave everything behind and go in a journey overnight! That requires a lot of courage and self-confidence.
Sally thought such a step would help her feel useful, she decided to work in a voluntary humanitarian organization. She’d heard about such organizations once and thought it was very useful to take part in one of them. She did contact an organization called HFA ‘’Happiness For All’’ that helps handicapped children to better fit into their community. The meeting with the HFA’s people was great; Sally was so excited that she asked to begin her job as soon as possible.
She called Bill to tell him the news. ’’Good morning Bill, how are you?’’
’’It’s been a long time Sally, where have you been?’’
’’Oh yeah! I’m really sorry Bill; I must have been horrid lately!’’
’’Tell me about it!’’
’’Well, it is a long story and I don’t have time. All I can say is that I’m going to Morocco next week.’’
’’Morocco?? What for?!’’
’’I’m going on a mission, I’ll write you.’’
’’I haven’t a clue what you are telling me!!’’
’’Sorry, I got to go now. Talk to you later, ok? Take care,’’ and she hung up.
The trip was so exhausting that poor Sally fell asleep once the cab reached the hotel. The next morning, the telephone rang; it was the president of HFA Morocco: ’’Good morning Miss Anderson! Hope your trip was great. Ah sorry, I haven’t introduced myself: Paul Twain, president of the HFA Morocco.’’
’’Excuse me, I’m feeling dizzy; the jet lag you know!’’
’’Yeah, I know. Anyway try to have a rest today. I’ll call you later, ok?’’
’’Ok, Mister Twain."
Mister Twain called her later and introduced her to the HFA people. She began her work as a young handicapped children’s assistant. The first days were a little bit difficult, but Sally could easily fit into her new society; her new family!
’’You know, I’ve never imagined that I could be that comfortable and happy in a country different from the one I was born in!’’ She told Bill once when she phoned him from Morocco.
The HFA’s people were very satisfied with Sally, her especial enthusiasm and kindness had drawn everybody’s attention. Her stay in Morocco helped her develop self-confidence and other qualities that her life had been lacking. These qualities allowed her to get a good position within the HFA organization.
She went back once to the USA, for her father’s funeral. He died of lung cancer. She met her old friend Bill at the wake, he couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw her; she was younger and full of life more than ever.
Sally’d decided to spend the rest of her years in Morocco. She wanted to be buried in Marrakech; her favorite town. She never married and devoted herself to helping children in need.
