It’s Mother’s Day in Nepal today and yest the celebrate it similarly to how we do. They respect their mothers very much here.
I catch a taxi to Boudannath to meet with Val Shears at 9.00am. Val is a good friend of Tim and MFs and served a term as mayor for the Cairns Regionsl Council. She is here helping out with the Thelma & Louise charity based in Cairns. They help with a village here but they also help with funding for other projects here in Kathmanfu. One of these projects is a school started by a lady who suffered physically at the hands of a gambling husband. She came to Kathmandu with her two daughters and started Genisis school. I also met Ramesh who runs a trekking business but also works for Thelma & Louise in an office here. It was an interesting morning and there is an opportunity to teach English at Genisis if I want.
I walk back to the hotel. It’s about 1.5 hours to walk but of course I get lost despite having Google maps to show the way.
Still suffering stomach problems. It doesn’t effect me to badly but a just lack some getup and go,
