A wonderful evening hosting our hosts

Tonight was wonderful because we all came together and cooked an "American" meal for our hosts. We had Noora's middle eastern stuffed vegetables, vegetable pasta, garlic bread, grilled zucchini, BBQ chicken and apple crisp for dessert.I was so happy to bake because it made me feel like I was at home. We realized as we were eating dinner that our food lacks so much spice and flavor compared to Nepali food! More importantly, we enjoyed good conversation, food, drinks, and company in a wonderful garden setting after a day of visiting two more schools.

I enjoyed today's school visits because young people were making a big difference in school environments without a lot of money. They painted, reorganized, fixed up, planted trees and shrubs and brought light to two government schools. With this work, the principal has made positive changes in her school and it was evident when we were there. The young Rotaracts and school staff were proud of their work and they should be!

We are off to new host families tomorrow after a morning of sight seeing. These last few days seem to be flying by! There is so much to do and see in such a short amount of time....
