This rather large monkey in the background is hanging outside my apartment and keeps looking in my windows… no lie… really?!?!?! Rather unsettling. 😳🙄😬

The last of the U.S. Team flew out early this morning. I am on my own in Nepal again with lots to accomplish. Closing out semester at NSU on-line.  Water Project complete so now on to university business in Nepal starting tomorrow. There is a science lab to complete for Evans & Judy Mcyntire for their 50th, an early childhood safe learning space for mothers against poverty, follow-up with the embassy, and supplies to deliver. No time to waste. Deep breath…. let’s go! 

Doing the best I can to keep up! 

The team water project is over now and this crazy, brave , compassionate human is on her way to the airport to head back to New York. Sari, I will really miss you in so many ways. Thank you for everything. Friends like you are rare. Friends through the best, the worst, the scariest, and the craziest adventures. Making a difference together. Love you!

As we finished our work and began to head back to camp we started to hear thunder and the sky turned dark. There was a major storm that we hoped would pass quickly. It did not, high winds, water in tents and almost no sleep still couldn’t dampen the spirits of the team or the villagers who were determined to show their gratitude. What an ending to this portion of the trip! 

We transported all the supplies to teach the kids relay games, another first. Our interpreters, university ENG volunteers did an amazing job of leading. So much fun!
