Tuesday in Nepal

HOUSE #12 HOMEOWNER MOTHER AND CHILD
WITH VOLUNTEER

It is actually Wednesday, but last night was an internet challenge. So it is noontime the next day, and I'm sitting on a Nepali short stool, in front of a little shop, roadside on the busy highway to Tibet. This road runs right by our building houses, clustered in three sites between here and 5 miles up the road. This is the third place attempting to get an internet connection and it is finally where I could be connected.
As I'm sitting here, the generator on the left is churning away providing electric for this shop and for the house down the hillside of Cluster #1.

So, OK, online, but the connection is very slow and so this post may be finished later.

With the help of Vic, one of the "cluster managers" and a well seasoned Habitat leader, we visited most of the other Bob and Leslie Bell houses.
