Acclimating to the Culture

December 30, 2010:
Hello all,
Our entire team of volunteers made it in on time (couple of very small delays here and there, but nothing major), and we spent the day familiarizing ourselves with the culture, language, and people in Nepal. Yubraj, once again, proved to be a major asset in this department, as well as introducing us to more of the very friendly people here in Nepal. In addition, we toured Durbar Square--what a beautiful district, filled with so much history and fascinating architecture.
Our teaching days are prepared, and we are just about to begin the Water Safety Education Program in a number of schools--in all, our students numbers are climbing, and should be well into the thousands. I go to bed tonight proud of the feeling of accomplishment in the number of lives we are about to help. I feel honored to meet and work with the people of Nepal--they are definitely a unique society--very friendly, outgoing, giving. I look forward to giving back.
Sincerely,
Paul Bosseler
