Where everybody (or someone) knows your name
I was walking around Hetauda one day, minding own business and trying to blend in with the locals when all of a sudden, someone called out my name. I looked around but I couldn’t find where the voice was coming from. I was trying to figure out who could it be? My co-workers are all working, Tlell is in Kathmandu, and the person sounds like one of my aunts or relatives from back home. I then looked “down” and found the culprit…

Needless to say, the locals thought I was crazy when I started talking to it, but they all laughed after I explained what was driving me nuts.

Books for Chankhu Besi
After their village stay experience, Rex and Gord wanted to help the Chankhu Besi community build their school library. They essentially had nothing that resembled a library - no books, not even a book shelf. Both Rex and Gord emailed family and friends back home to see if anyone wanted to help donate funds towards their little side project. They received an overwhelming response and were able to not only purchase books and a durable book shelf but also musical instruments, sports equipment, teaching aids and much more.

Thank you to the Canadians that supported this project.

Sports Day at Chankhu Besi
The March 2009 VSO volunteers organized a sports day with the play equipment that was donated. Little things such as footballs and skipping ropes makes such a difference.
