MY REASON FOR THE TRIP

I have been thinking of something good to do for people in need, for somebody who is less fortunate than us Western creatures who live in total luxury. After reading an article about The Highlander Orphanage in Kathmandu, I picked that to be my project. I am going to raise money for the kids in an orphanage in Nepal. Now the challenge comes. HOW? ? First I am going to give them some of my time. I have decided to volunteer at the orphanage for 2 months to make it more real for me, to go out of my own comfort zone to see what life is really like there and not as a tourist. By doing that I hope others will contribute in different ways. My goal is to raise as much as possible to make a better life for kids who would live in total poverty if not for the help from others.

Pictures

First Picture from the  Holi Festival on my second day here, the crazy colour and water fights.

Some guys playing in the street for Holi Festival..
Finally the moment some of you have been waiting for in great anticipation for a long time, my new boy friend, I promised not to bring back a Sherpa and I don't think this cute guy would be classified as that so that should be OK right?
Just a few of the many sleeping dogs I pass on my way everyday. At night they are  unfortunately not so peaceful, another thing to add to my list of reasons for not getting a dog.

    I guess you get used to anything. Pictures are worth a thousand words. Imagine living in this day to day. Glad you finally were able to post pictures. Our grass here is greener by the day and no smells. Be careful.

    Photo journalism. I'm just sayin'. Oh, and Oprah with Richard Gere on the panel. http://www.gerefoundation.org/

    We were at Kathleen's daughter Gillian's bridal shower on Sunday. You were remembered warmly, Inger.

    We are eagerly anticipating a power point presentation at the hour of your choosing!

    Ciao Bella
