Final shot from the fourth and the last class I visited.

In The Search Is The Discovery…And The Loss
You can’t imagine what’s out there or who/what you have the potential to become...unless you explore the world!
You don’t know who, what and how you are until you lose your sense of who, what and how you are!
Social Justice: Want Compassion? Show Compassion!
If you don't or cannot display compassion and humanity to those around you at this time of desperate need for just that, then you cannot expect compassion and humanity from others living in far off lands!
Nepal Earthquake: Friend Doing His Bit to Help The People of Nepal Rebuild
A artist friend of COMMITTED's selling earrings to raise money for COMMITTED and thereby help rebuild Nepal.
Project Update: Report from Thangpalkot
COMMITTED volunteers Manaslu and Chris report on "the strength, the ability and determination" of the Thangpalkot villagers to pick their lives up and forge ahead in spite of the devastation caused by the recent earthquake.
Project Update: Moving Along
We're COMMITED (to) bringing back the smiles on the faces of children of Thangpalkot and its neighbors! To that end, we have provided relief materials to the residents of Thangpalkot VDC and have begun the process of bringing the children back to school for educational activities.

“Help, I Need Somebody [to] Help!!”
Nixon Boumba describing lessons learnt from the Haiti earthquake in "How not to rebuild Nepal" recommends listening to local people, supporting local people and reaching the most vulnerable as the top three things to do. I agree.
Surely there are skilled and trustworthy local people and local organizations. We just need to identify them and support them, if we are to not become another Haiti!
Pursuing a Meaningful Life: Human Rights & Education in Nepal
All about following ones dreams to make life meaningful. In my case, the dream was to get advanced degree in the US and then return to Nepal to help the next generation of children from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which is what I have done.
Nepal Earthquake: Mounting Loss
As pleasant as my visit to the US this time has been, re-connecting with old friends and making new friends, the tragedy unfolding back home in Nepal has been a constant preoccupation. While my uncharacteristic absent-mindedness from the start of the journey has made me part with a number of things of little value at different times, the earthquake has taken many that are irreplaceable.
