Four hundred plus

At the welcome dinner tonight, Aruna Paul, country representative HFH Nepal, said that the number of volunteers gathering here for the Build is 462, from many countries around the world. Our team, under the leadership of Bob and Leslie Bell, makes up more than 20% of the total.
Included in the ceremony were Nepalese dancers and models in ethnic outfits depicting the regions of Nepal. All this in the beautiful Durbur Square, an open area in Bhaktapur center, surrounded by the the art and architectural beauty dating back centuries. In 1979, the city was named a UNESSO World Heritage Site.



The Bell team of some 100 will be wearing their unique t-shirt during the work week. Designed by committee, printed in the U.S. and hand carried to Nepal. Monte, shows off the end result.

Most are housed in the Dhulikhel Lodge Resort: a group of buildings spilling down the side of a hill, with brick walkways, lush plantings, and rooms simply furnished.
