Visitors

No matter where you are, a friendly face from home always brightens your day. My good friend, Dan recently came and visited KC and I in Pokhara for two weeks. He came from London looking to relax and found the days to be filled with children of Sam's House. While in Pokhara, Dan assisted KC and I in the classroom, on the football pitch and in the orphanage. We spent one day at a center for children who have not received a formal education (many come from agro-families or the street). Another day was spent at Gorkha English Boarding School with the football team in the morning (7am) and the classroom in the afternoon. Several other days were spent playing with the children around the house, not exactly a relaxing getaway from work.

Dan and I did take a few days to trek in the Himalayas. The villages, views and stories made for an incredible trip into a place I have often dreamed of visiting. It was a great trip.

Dan playing with the kids on swing set. Everyone wanted a little of the new guy's attention.

Dan working on the alphabet with the children. F is an especially tough letter for the kids but he was up for the challenge.
