This is what official approval looks like. There are no words to explain the amount of time, work, energy, and negotiation that goes into what seems to be such a simple process. SO relieved to have these final documents in hand! Our ENG team rocks!!!

Meeting new Nepali colleagues at Institute for Crisis Management tonight.
3 hours of class lecture, training, and demonstrations tonight at the University. Now home to pack to leave for Chitwan in the morning! In love with teaching! Great group of students.
When word spread at Rising Rays school that materials had arrived there was much excitement but when the skeleton model was spotted the kids swarmed the windows and doors. They all just wanted a peek! So so cute. I think the science and English/computer teachers were equally pumped!

The first week of school has obviously just been too much for this little angel. He is the one that kept falling apart on the first day, he is just adorable sleeping so soundly on his book back as the other children were yelling and playing close by.
