It's that time of year again - It's starting to rain again!
But this is actually a blessing. We've been averaging around 30 degrees
recently so it's actually lovely when the rains come in and cool every thing
down. It's also great for the farmers and so many great fruits (lychees,
mangos, watermelon etc) are at the markets now.
We've been having new volunteers arriving every week now,
and it was great to welcome Georgie back who volunteered with us last summer.
She said it felt like coming home when she arrived back to Pokhara which is
lovely to hear. She is already stuck in working at Annapurna Primary School , the Street Kids and
Asha Foundation.
It has been a fairly quiet few weeks actually, which is
sometimes nice considering how busy we usually are! The schools have been
ticking over nicely, the street kids are doing great, and the Asha kids are
spending most of their free time tending to the farmland (thanks PoD Charity for
paying for another years rent!).
Juan, a longterm volunteer left last week, but not without
shaving the kids hair one last time! They seem to like it at this time of year
as it keeps them much cooler. Although Khadke did tell me when Juan walked in
with his shaver 'not me this time, I not like bald!'
We've got lots of plans for the next few weeks though as
holidays start soon so most of the kids will be off for a month. Lots of
activities, swimming, football, picnics and treasure hunts soon!
If you would like to join the team in Nepal
