this school is so sweet and I love visiting with our children here. They are always so happy when we come! This is the principal’s office, the school bell, and a typical classroom for them. Lots of love put into preparing the rooms! 

Nima is heading a project to rebuild a trail from Chuserma to Monju to allow access of supplies and safe passage. I am so honored that Bryce, Mike and I can help with this project… It wll help so many people. All the work is done by hand by local men… Amazing  

Thank you Nima Sherpa for taking such wonderful care of us. Sitting out under the mountains and talking into the evening was just what was needed… Perfect!  

there is major damage around our dear friend, Nima”s, beautiful Beyul from the second large earthquake. Major landslides with no safe passage. The picturesque school sitting on the mountain above him is completely destroyed and so sad to see it this way. The children are coming for class but parents are very nervous …. The walk is treacherous for them in places.  As we crossed the last landslide area a large rock fell from hundreds of feet above and bounced between Pasang and I… It was very loud..,who knew I could run so quickly?   

as we left Monju climbing to Nimas home, Beyul, we passed a father with a sweet angel running very high fever. The baby had been burned. Badly and was infected-just tore my heat out to see one so little and innocent in such pain. We did all we could and sent medicine we had…. I was also very touched by the care and gentleness shown by the daddy and also the gentleness of our team in caring,I’ve never felt more helpless. Life is just so hard for some. 

the kids at Monju school are having class in tents and all the parents stayed close by and were very gracious and kind-love the mama connection 

made it to Monju to set up health camp and see patients for a day. Head injuries, toothaches, back pain, sinus infections, and wound care. ,,,, great team effort and very very appreciative villagers

it is hard to wrap your mind around the amount of destruction in these small villages… 

i love being here and spending time with these people.
