Activities
Clearly the skills that are needed in a rural environment up in the Himalayas are different from the skills that are required for earning a living in an urban environment.

the women’s handicraft: knitting and crocheting for sale and also for the winter
doing needlework and earning some money makes the women feel better
By the end of my round through the camp the school has filled with kids that play and jump around and laugh and cry, like anywhere else.

With the money a donor gave me I buy some food, some teaching material and other useful things for the school.

chairs for the teachers who volunteer at the school
Another good thing about the school: the children get a warm meal there.
Before I leave the children greet me with a heartfelt “Namaste”
“Namasteeeeeeee!!!!”
and the singing of the national anthem
It’s time to say good-bye to the camp and to the women’s group.
Rita and the other ladies, you are doing a wonderful job, keep it up
Help will come
When the rains are pouring down at night and the powerful tropical thunderstorms pound the area I think of them and I wish for them not to spend another monsoon season in the camp, not even the winter which is cold at 1300 m of altitude.
Best wishes also to Rita and her women’s group for their community engagement and their support to the needy. For people who would like to help them finish their house here are some details:
