New Update

Here's a some picture sent to me from Sovita at Nepal Reliance Organization in Kathmandu. She arranged for the last of the fundraising money from friends in Canada to be spent at the health post. The addition of a clinic room above the health post has started and sink basins on the ground floor are being installed. Miracles of miracles, Sovita managed to move beyond the planning stage!

The toilets at the school in Imadole are completed with running water, plaster and painted.

And we sponsored two children for school, and are looking for anyone interested in sponsoring other kids...

We're home

After living out moments that felt like I was in the movie "Groundhog Day"--a very Buddhist movie apparently--we arrived home safely. My cycle in samsara of the Asian continent has now come to a close for the time being. However, I'll post one last blog in a week with more pics...stay tuned.

Lest anyone think that we're back in Canada soaking in a bath, scrubbing the Goan sand out of our pores, I just wanted you all to know that I won't be available to do coffee at Starbucks this week. We are still trapped in Delhi. Standby out of Delhi to Toronto (which has the largest Indian population outside of India) has turned out to be impossible as well as a wreckless disregard for the health and welfare of my blood pressure (usually low). The lovely East Indian way of doing things...so quaint and calming in Goa, makes something like air travel the equivalent of masocism involving sweaty anger and miscommunication. However, we are safe, well-fed, and not out of money--therefore, life is good...Ooooommmmm, ?*!x*! Ooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
