Nepalese Scouts

We were supported greatly during the community part of the trip by the Nepalese Scouts who let us hire their bus for the week and took us on a tour of their city. Three Scouts joined us at Kakani and helped us with the digging, teaching English and playing with the children.

Ok - the bum still needs working on. Jayne, Helen and Karin showing their good side.

Digging, finding bricks, carrying concrete - mission completed.
In the monsoon, the campers will be able to get from their tent to the dinning shelter and not need to walk in the mud.
