Climb for Children of Nepal : 4 Feb 2010

Dear Supporters,

We are on track to leave for Kophu on Monday and will be there Tuesday afternoon. Our guide for this trek is Phurba and he is from the village of Mulkarka which is a 2 hour walk from Kophu. I met him the other day.... what a lovely man! (Sue and Lew the audiologists who are here doing their Hear Nepal Project for NAFA (giving hearing back to Nepalese people through hearing aids) fitted him with a hearing aid).

Phurba told me that the villagers of Kophu are still busy building the classrooms. He said that the villagers are very very happy about these classrooms as it has made such a difference to the lives of the children. He said it gets very very cold in winter and now the children have a warmer environment to learn. Kophu is a very poor village so it's wonderful to think we have helped to make such a huge difference in the lives of these children.

We are back in Kathmandu on the 24th February so more news and photos then.

Regards,
Kylie
