In Kathmandu Again

I arrived here again on Tuesday and am frantically checking everything is in order for a visit by a group of teachers from IB schools in Australia, lead by Rosemary King from MLC. After such a fantastic week with MLC here last year Rosemary has inspired a new group of teachers to come and see for themselves just how far their help can go. The group also includes 2 students from MLC and 3 of their parents, so whilst it is a much smaller group than last year it means each person will be able to have much more personal involvement in each of the activities. Look out for more postings and photos as the activities unfold next week!

The new school year starts in Nepal from Sunday (19th April) so it is a busy time for the Dream Catchers project too. Thank you to all of our sponsors who have recently renewed their contributions and to those who may have forgotten - there is still time so... We expect to be significantly increasing the number of girls receiving scholarships this year which is very exciting and is thanks to the generosity and support of so many.

I will be checking on all of our other projects whilst here as well, especially the new ones we are planning to start this year so stay tuned for updates on that too. Just a short post this time as electricity is still limited and my laptop battery is running low!

While I think of it, Mitrataa is now on Facebook as a 'cause' so take a look and become a member if you are a Facebookphile!

More soon...
