Helping out where we can

hello all!
today we checked out the inner workings of our website thanks tothe yahoo chat back and forth help from Sue! We are going to wait and build it when Amber returns from a trek to Ladakh in late July!
However....we were able to engage in project #2 of The Himalayan education development Project.
Today we posted the tuition for a Tamang girl to continue her education! Her family had fallen on very hard times and did not have enough finances to send her to her first year in post secondary school. Shescored a very high grade on her national exam and qualified for acceptance but was going to have to wait a year or so because she did not want to be a burden to her family.Amber's wife...Sushma brought it to our attention and afterwe talked we have seen to it that her first yaer is taken care of!We were helped by another individual from Nepal as well!
It must be noted that in Nepal ....the price of higher education is nothing compared to the states!
So we felt very honored to be able to help this young lady!
We are also working on obtaining an ongoing funding to provide a librarian to oversee the community library in Tapting
The cost will be around $100.00 per month.....I am going to talk to SWCS's wonderful Media Specialist...Barb Kane about maybe a group of the county school libraries "adopting" the Tapting library and helping to make this possible!
3 more days in Kathmandu until I return home! I am comfortable...having a great time and busy...busy. But the best part is all the wonderful contacts that are being made from various countries all over the world!
My best to all
