I made it here and have a cell phone the entire time so I can always been in contact (but not often). I tried to text steven but I don't know if it made it. I will try again soon. I am going to my host family today and get to go to the school tomorrow. I am loving Kathmandu - it is very very similar to Mombasa. I will live with one of the coordinators moms which is a 10 minute walk to the school. I get to use the internet here at the main office when I need to so I will try to get back as often as I can. I am doing very well, am eating well and am looking forward to this. I guess they only eat twice a day so i have jet lag and eating patterns to get used to.
I'll be in contact soon. We are getting read to go on a city tour. Oh, and I get to go on a five day treking adventure to get to my village in Feb. We will leave from Kathmandu and hike around 5 days to get there. Binita is doing it for the first time with me. I will be the first United Planet volunteer in this village. Lots more to say, but it will have to wait :)

I want to hear about the city and the food. Are you buying clothes there? What type of clothing will you wear to school? Can you post a picture? It will be fun to see the place you are going to live. If you have to hike 5 days to get to your village how will you get out for your weekend tours? Give me your address and I'll send an airmail letter and see if it gets there.

Sounds like a pretty good setup! I agree with your Aunt -- you should try to post a picture or a few.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you made it there safely! It's so weird to think that you're so far away but I'm glad that you're settling in well. Can't wait to here more!
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie,
ReplyDeleteHow is the school? Do you have to bring your own supplies? How is the place you are living? We are waiting and excited to hear about everything.

Only two meals a day? I don't know if I could deal with that; I snack too much with three meals a day as it is!
ReplyDeleteTake lots of pics (if you can!)
