Just finished two weeks of building houses for the people of Kagati. Kagati is a wonderful place with extraordinary volunteers and beneficiaries. We have finished six of the fifteen houses that we are constructing for them. The beneficiaries are more willing to help than they were in Kathmandu and are in Melamchi. They get right down in the dust with you to dig the foundation or to put rocks in to support the post.
The base is different than any base I have been to yet. It is similar to The Gau, but the volunteers make it have a different feel. The Eagles Nest has a more communal feel, even more than The Gau. We walked to site everyday with great views of flowing rivers and the steps on which the locals grow their crops.
I am on break in Kathmandu until tomorrow and then I head back up to Melamchi until March 31.
