Back in Nepal
My whirlwind month trip back to Nepal was indescribably amazing. Without sufficient vocabulary to express my gratitude and good fortune, I resort here to pictures.
In Phalewas:
Rural students my friends and I are sponsoring for their science education for the next 2 years. Thanks Will, Jamie, Patrice, and Winnie!
My FM radio interview broadcasted across several communities. We didn't have enough material, so I sang the US national anthem!
In Nurbuling school:
The students I taught 8 months ago! During the morning assembly they gave me a warm welcome 🙂
Village hospitality. Nima on the left welcomed me to her home and 7 more over the course of a day! What a wonderful way to get to know the Hyolmo culture. I can't thank them enough. Thanks for 5 types of local wine and endless tea!
Love the village life
Oh and I carried this 3 week old bugger up and down many hills to his new home. You don't want to know what happened to my tshirt.
In Tinpiple:
The only dump site that collects the trash from Kathmandu and neighboring cities. Many families live and work here to earn about $1-2 a day. It was absolutely humbling to experience a few hours with them.
On a dump truck back to town. Here is one of the single mothers that works at the site. She was so gracious and friendly! I met her children who were thankfully taken away from working at the site and are now receiving good education and housing, thanks to a great organization that I'll describe later. Again, a humbling experience.
So much more! But alas, photos don’t even do it justice.
Thank you, Nepal! Coming twice this year wasn’t enough. You’ve been a great teacher to me, and I’ll come back to learn and contribute as best I can.
