Project visits:
We also visited 8 different 'girl empowerment' projects in Kathmandu and surrounding valleys, and got a pretty good feeling of the charity industry in Nepal, as well as what works resp doesnt work. The meetings were generally of very high quality and tremendously motivating.

Kathmandu:
We also spent numerous hours strolling the super-busy streets of this most amazing city, with its myriads of temples, stupas, street vendors, shops, bicycles, cars, cows, dogs, hidden streets and corners.

People:
Most of all, however, we will keep in memory the many smiles of the beautiful and lovely people of Nepal.

Namaste, Nepal!
