I had planned to go to Genisis Academy near Boudannath to meet with Pramila at 11 but at breakfast, Dipendra explains to me about an orphanage that is taking in visitors as a way of raising funds. They provide food and board and I pay hotel priced rent. It’s a new idea they are trailing. This idea is more appealing than moving to Boudannath. It’s always the way that many opportunities come up at once and I have to choose. Dipendra organises for some representatives of the orphanage to come to the hotel to chat with me. We then go by taxi to visit the orphanage for me to see it first hand. I decide to go with this orphanage rather than teach at Genisis Academy. We organise for them to pick me up from the hotel tomorrow. The organization running the orphanage is called ‘First Ray of Hope’.
