People and luck intervened in my life a number of times. One of those times luck intervened, I got to go to the United World College of the Adriatic in Italy for two years. It's to provide that kind of intervention to deserving children that I have returned to Nepal.

We are in the process of completing a series of SBE and SIP related projects we have been conducting at Dolagiri School in Changu Narayan just outside of Bhaktapur. The seven-month long project involving infrastructure and resource upgrades and the establishment of two SBE projects is nearing its end. Read the blog for specifics.
Libraries played an important role in my education in Nepal. Believing therefore that libraries are an extremely important resource in a school I wholeheartedly support building libraries at school. COMMITTED has helped build libraries at all four schools in Thangpalkot and also at Shanti Nikunj.
We have ended up with US$31,555.88 and now can begin the process of transferring the funds to COMMITTED and start implementing the various projects in Thangpalkot.
What happens when the breadwinner of a poor rural family, working abroad, in a country like Qatar, returns in a coffin, and what COMMITTED has decided to do about it.
In Qatar, Asian workers, deemed to have run afoul of the law for whatever reason, are treated as guilty until proven innocent...by their own selves with hardly any support from the legal system.
What I thought of, and expected from, Muslims and Arabs in general before I arrived in Qatar, and what I actually discovered about who, what and how they are as a people, based on how they treated me (and other Asians).
The plight of Nepalese unskilled workers who go to Qatar to make just some money so their families back home can have just a slightly better life but end up ensnared in the country's Kafkaesque legal system.
Update on what's been happening at Raithane School in Thangpalkot.
