Namaste!

I've gotten way busier here of late, so there hasn't been as much free time for blogging. My activities have included, but are not limited to:
- Teaching English and computers at CAP Nepal
- Fundraising at CAP Nepal
- Celebrated Holi, the festival of colors
- Attending Momo Mania, a food event with over a dozen kinds of Nepali dumplings
- Participating in the International Women's Day All-Women Scooty Rally
Most of the activities actually center around the arrival of my Mama (maternal uncle in Nepali), Richard. In the past couple of years, Richard has started the Miles Levin Nepal Foundation for Health and Education, an NGO that focuses on the Khotang district. I've gotten to tag along with Richard and his NGO partner, Namgyal, to meetings all over town. It's been quite an education in itself, and I'm excited to see the planning come to fruition once we get to Khotang tomorrow!

We'll spend two weeks working in the field, and the total trek time is 24 days. Considering I've never been FOR REAL for real camping, my optimistic disposition could be short-lived. I've got all of this nervous energy, now that the trek begins in just 13 hours.
Can't wait to talk to everyone once I get back - wish me luck!
