Tomorrow morning I begin my journey to Charicott: a six hour bus ride then a short hike to the village.
I will be spending the next month there, living in and working at the government orphanage.
The orphanage has about 30 boys, ranging from very young to late teens. I have heard that they are simply amazing; the sweetest gentlemen that ever existed. Like the girls at Papa's House, most of these boys have been rescue from abusive families, slavery, or trafficking.
For the month of October the boys will be off of school for the festival of lights (Dashain). This means I will be spending most of my day hanging out with the boys: playing football, painting murals, flying kites, and celebrating the holiday! I may also be tutoring the boys, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, and helping the orphanage any way I can. I absolutely cannot wait!
While in Charicott, I wont have much internet access so don't expect too many emails or blog updates. There is a semi-reliable internet cafe in town, about a 30 minute walk from the orphanage, but I wont be using it often.
Still, feel free to send me emails because I would love to read updates on your lives when I return to Kathmandu!
Pheri Bhetaunlah!
("until we meet again")
