Nepal is one of the
poorest countries in the world with a per capital income of less then
$200. The problems of Nepal can be addressed, like the problems of the
world, in a very direct manner--one ill person at a time, one street kid
at a time, one desitute person at a time. I hope that you will make this
organization your way to help those in need.
On the streets
of Bhodanath, outside of Kathmandu, an old man sits and waits.
A woman from Dolpo,
a remote region of Nepal near the Tibetan
border, has walked for a month to reach Kathmandu. Even though
she has no skills or education, she hopes to find work in the city.
A mother and her
children smile,
bundled up in blankets in the winter chill.
Hands placed together
and the word "namaste".
It is the universal greeting in Nepal. It is hello and good bye.
It is the recognition of each of us in the other.
