Well I've been here three or four days now.... I'm living in a little town called Banepa which is an hour outside Kathmandu. It's kind of like the "Coquitlam" of Kathmandu. I've begun working in Bhaktapur at the Muscular Dystrophy Centre. I can't even begin to describe these kids, through all their tough times they seem to care about nothing more than having fun (Cricket, Basketball and Spiderman).
I still haven't quite adjusted to the culture shock here.... today I saw some guy toss a dead dog out of a moving vehicle where it landed in a mass of garbage on the side of the road. I suppose eventually this will seem more and more like commonplace.... hopefully?
It's great here though, my host family and the other volunteers are great. On Friday we're going into Kathmandu for "Red Neck Friday" which is some sort of clubbing theme I think. It'll probably be a good time.

Good for you Dawson, you are doing a wonderful thing which will also enrich you (you will never be the same again!)In Morocco I had a similar culture shock and tried to rescue a sickly kitten to be told by a Policeman that children are starving so why worry about a cat!
I look forward to reading about your adventures.
lots of love Maria & Jim xx
