Captions

I had meant to add a few more captions to the trekking photos while I was still in Pokhara, but that fell through, so I added some today. We've since had two Green Club events, where we've staged street dramas about School Enrolment in Sundrapur and Adamara, the two communities that we do work in. I'll put pictures up of those soon, as well.

In response to questions: Mike, the prayer flags are everywhere, and like you said, they are often in places that I can't imagine people going to. Most bridges you cross are covered in them, and as you can see, the mountain pass had them all over, as well.
Marie, we weren't close to Everest. That's in the Eastern part of Nepal, or at least east in relation to where we are. It's apparently an absolute chore to even get to a place where you can see it. I didn't know much about mountains coming here, so I assumed you could just walk up to the base of the thing and take a picture. I've since learned the path to a specific mountain ususually consists of many other mountains, and those aren't the easiest things to traverse. Apparently Everest is particularly hidden, so it doesn't seem like I'll get there this trip. Ah well.
