During my recent trip to Nepal I had the opportunity to view the future site of our fourth health post and birthing center in Baspani, see the latest progress on our health post in Sapteshwor, learn how well the Dindu/Dipsung Health Post and Birthing Center is functioning, meet with our ngo partners, Nava Jyoti and Creative Porter's Society, visit the site of Baikalpik Primary School and attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Kalika Secondary School in Bakachol. It was a great trip!

Late Fall 2017

In Nepal ground has broken on the Sapteshwor Health Post and Birthing Center and early work has begun on the final four schools slated for reconstruction. Check back in January for updates and pictures. In Detroit, the Piety Hill pocket parks were completed (see above picture), the benches in Cody Rouge were celebrated and two new partners, Building Better Men and Avalon Village, joined the Detroit family.

Khotang, December 2016

Starting in Diktel and ending in Bakachol (see map) the trip was 25 hours of walking uphill and another 15 of walking downhill. Aside from these ups and downs, it was a completely satisfying trip to Khotang.

First anniversary of Nepal earthquake

April 25, 2016

It was one year ago today that the worst earthquake in over 80 years hit Nepal. About 9,000 lives were lost, and 20% of families were displaced from their homes. Destruction was beyond belief.
