I have this crazy idea that maybe I could move to Lesotho and start an NGO

I met Pinki near Molumong when I was walking home from buying a can of beans. She was doing her schoolwork in front of her family's rondavel. She asked me to write down her address and send her a letter when I left. & I did. I also mailed photos to several people (there's not much internet access in the Kingdom) who had asked me for copies of portraits I had taken. But Pinki sent me a reply!
e.g.

"There at Lesotho is winter now. My mother is planting SunFlower around her house."

"There is a flower here called Red Rose. It look like this (picture). If you want to eat it can eat it. Can you please send me a tulip for me."

"My father is die so my family are sad. Could you please help me to give me money and phone only I am going to give you many Flower and that is called climber my mother is planting it."

"come to Lesotho I am going to give you many flower." (picture of celery plant)
"have a nice day & month & year. Be Well."

I was in Lesotho for fewer than five days and I am determined I will go back for longer at some point.
