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.

THE PEOPLE OF NEPAL

A lady,  taking a brake, in Lake Fewa Tal  in Pokhara who's job is to row tourist's around.

A girl and her sister in the village of Dunche where I ended my trek, with the empty look in her eye's that is typical  for many kids who already had a tough life at a young age.


From the temple area where I went to observe the cremation of the dead, people were living in little rooms  adjacent to the temples.


A lady in the Langtang Mountain range, with her baby in front of her small house where I had my first yak curd. 

hhh
A lot of chilly peppers at the Ashan Market Thamal, Kathmandu and time for a little nose picking between customers:-)
  
A woman with her baby, along a busy street there everyday begging for money, covering herself from the hot sun exposing her baby in hope of money.
