We made it with everything by late afternoon, unloaded jeeps, set up tent, crawled in totally exhausted. Woke up to this today!    
   

So, remember the carpenter and desk that left yesterday from kathmandu to arrive before us in Bahandada? Yep! We made it to Besisahar to transfer all the materials to jeeps to get them up the mountain, look across the road and SURPRISE! Our desk are just sitting across the road in a field…. 40 of them. 

We’ve got this!!!! See you at the top!  

Played with baby owl on rest break. Our drive has been crazy! So, need a nerve break! We have total chaos on these severely narrow roads with goats, dogs, cats, monkeys, trucks, vans, children, motorbikes and US! All going breakneck speed around hairpin turns with drop offs! I needed the owl distraction!  

We head out before dawn for Lamjung to distribute safe Learning Space materials. The carpenters have already left and we follow. One last round into the mountains before returning home!  #teamENG  
 

Night out with Family – re-grouping for final week!!!!  

The monsoon season has is at hand and heavy rains have started. There is no way to describe the effect of this to the people living in open shelters with no foundations. We made our way to Bhaktipur for delivery of supplies and final arrangements for construction. We set up a playroom with no electricity. It is wet and cold with no way to dry things out, just hot tea & noodles to warm from the inside. This school is so sweet and the principle and his wife work extra hard to provide for the children. This school is adopted by St. Mary’s Catholic a School in Natchitoches and the students are raising the money for the safe learning space project… Impressive!    
    
    
 

 This school was on our schedule for yesterday but had to reschedule because of the threats of trouble from Maoist party if they opened. So today we transformed this empty space into a bustling hub of learning activity for the children! #teamENG
