STILL HERE

The American couple who were here had a bust up and ended up leaving a few days ago. This caused some upset at the home but also left some projects promised but not completed. So this afternoon we travelled in to the markets (shops) to investigate fixing the solar panels and blankets for all the kids. We found we could replace the whole solar heating system for just a bit more than what it was going to cost for fixing and hooking up the old broken system. We are going to consider it first ....the whole thing installed for $500 US dollars seems a better option. We did buy them all new tooth brushes and today try to solve the chicken coop saga. We just want to be sure that food for the orphans is taken care of ....and at the moment that is not so certain.

Yesterday Amanda began to get sick......pretty standard for Nepal. By last night she was very ill, with stomach pains, headaches and cramps in her muscles. It was a long and very uncomfortable and painful night for her. We dosed her up with everything we had and with bits and pieces of sleep she feels much better this morning. An easy day for her with rest and, when our hot water starts working again, a hot shower.

More wonderful names, the best of yesterday: Sublime school, and Hotel Peace Full.
