We have this morning bid farewell to the group of students, parents and teachers from MLC Sydney after they spent the last week doing some fantastic work in a number of different projects. Their energy and enthusiasm was inspiring and they have left a mark on the lives of many Nepalis - more on this in the coming days.
The week before last Libby Hathorn and Pat Granville Smith launched Libby's 100 Views program at the model school here. This was a huge success and we are already seeing some awesome poetry and art works coming from the students at the school as a result of this. Again, I will post more details shortly.
At the beginning of the month (which now feels like ages ago!) Janet O'Connor conducted the Women Journalists Workshop which I have written about previously and which was also a resounding success.
The best thing to come from all of these wonderful programs is that we have had the opportunity to introduce more people to Nepal. Working on all of the programs and sharing them with others has opened our eyes to even more ideas and possibilities for the future which is always a good thing.
Right now a little rest is needed but we wanted to post this entry to express our heartfelt gratitude to all of the people that have made this past month of work the huge success that it was. We thank not only those who travelled to Nepal to offer their support but also the many at home who also contributed in many ways to making this all happen. Thanks to all of you!
Stay tuned for more posts on the details of how the various programs played out...
