Young Men and Young Women Activities in Kathmandu Branch

Mike was asked to help the young men with activities and I am helping with young women. Mike arranged for the boys to go to an indoor football field(aka soccer) and they had a great time. Then in August we hired a van and took the youth to the Fun Valley Water Park, which is about 45 minutes outside of Kathmandu. They enjoyed playing in the water and going down the slides and experiencing the ocean wave pool. Then it decided to rain and we went inside for food. The rain stopped and they went out and enjoyed the amusement park rides. It was a fun day for all and on the way home most of them fell asleep. Can you believe we wore them out.

Rajesh Hamal Wedding Reception May 28, 2014

Rajesh Hamal is the brother of one of our NGO partners Rakesh Hamal. Rajesh, is a very famous movie star and celebrity in Nepal.  Everyone knows him. He finally decided to get married. He is like over 50 years old and his now wife is about 27 so big age difference. We felt very privileged to be invited to the reception. We had met Rajesh a couple of times before at Rakesh's home. Understanding now that Rajesh and his wife Madhu live there too. Anyway, it was a fun evening with paparazzi, beautiful gowns, and lots of interesting food. The Himals are a great family. We met their three sisters, one is a doctor in the U.S. , one a dentist in U.S. and the third is a Dr. in Kathmandu. They visited with us and are such nice people. Rajesh and his wife treated us kindly and invited us to have a picture with them. It was fun to dress up and go out.
