Hope & Home

still alive and well! Arrived in Delhi at midnight after a layover in Paris, where i discovered people would rather be tied up for ransom than speak English to a foreigner. i had to bust out my elementary school Francais just to find a toilette in that joint.

speaking of, i like to take pictures of trippy WCs in foreign countries, im not a perve scouts honour



i peeled myself away from 50% off sales at Hermes, Longchamp and L'Occitane (yes NEXT to my gate, i love paris) to sit in a cafe where I met a new friend. Shoutouts to Sarika, new friend! She's on the board of a not-for-profit that just opened a malnutrition clinic in Sierra Leone, kudos to leading an extraordinary initiative. She attributed her inspiration and pivotal shift in mentality to http://www.landmarkeducation.com/, more on that later.

Delhi airport is wonderous. You can sit on hard benches for 6 hours while waiting for your connecting flight or you can be a foreign sucker like me and shell out 30USD to sit in an empty executive lounge where there is internet and open bar hmm....
take your own look see



Now I introduce you to Hope & Home, the NGO that I am working with in Kathmandu. They've been around since 1998 and address health and education needs of the Nepalese people through providing volunteering opportunities. They send trained volunteers to schools and communities to generate awareness of environmental issues, sanitation, income generating initiatives, health care, and education. Check out the website, http://www.hopenhome.org/about_us.htm I hope some of you will want to take a leap of faith and venture out there one day as well!

I leave you with some blasayyyyy pictures of Nepal. Yea just culturally diverse indigenous children and the Himalayans no biggie ... you're not ripping your hair out of jealousy at all...
