We have heard from our friend Sanju at Quest Volunteers that they desperately need people to continue the restoration and refurbishment of the school building that Rob started when we were in Chovar. Quest has the usual placements at orphanages, monasteries and schools teaching English - but also runs environmental awareness and community volunteering projects, something a little different.....and a bit more active. Even if you have just 2 weeks to offer - you will get Nepalese language lessons, live with a Nepali family and make a real contribution to the community. While you are waiting to climb Mt. Everest, paraglide in Pokhara, whitewater raft down the Seti or Trisuli River or bathe with elephants in Chitwan, why not offer just a bit of time helping to give this school a new lease of life? The kids would be so happy if they could again use their computer room and science lab - ruined by rain coming through the roof. Rob has repaired the holes in the roof and a group of friends have begun replastering the walls - they need someone who can use a hammer to replace floorboards, someone handy with a paintbrush - and/or anyone willing to learn.
They are also planning a fundraising trek to Everest Base Camp in May 2013 - sounds like a lot of fun....
