House dedications

The dedications were scheduled for the afternoon and that meant that all of the volunteers on all of the houses were in haste to finish as much as possible in the morning before lunch. For most, it meant more plastering with that favorite :( mixture, priming and painting the window and door frames and general cleanup. At House #2 we did all that.

And finally, the dedication. Of course, much appreciation from the homeowner who aplplied a tika on the forehead of each team member, and a marigold lei around their necks.

You must be on your 10 day trip right now but wanted you to know how impressed I am with the work done in Nepal. Looking forward to seeing ALL the photos and hearing more adventures.

Safe journey home.
