Sunny Faces of Nepal

On the last day of our visit to Nepal, we toured a school that educates children from age 5 to 15. The classrooms were made of bamboo, and the school welcomed boys and girls from all backgrounds and religions. A lovely nun named Barbara took us there. The children were so excited to see westerners. They wanted us to write our names on their hands and loved having their picture taken!

Before the trip, I was able to collect over $700 in donations from my students, colleague's, and friends. Thank you all so much for your generosity. The Bamboo school was a highlight for me. To know we made a difference in these children's lives and the lives of future generations is so important. The smiles on their faces brought hope after seeing so much poverty and desperation.
