Back to Gaunshaha

After what felt like many days on the road we are now back in Gaunshaha to familiar places and people. Work on building the school has begun.
No two bus rides have been the same and this one started in Kathmandu by filling up the bus with sacks of clothing and only 10 people. So plenty of seats for once.
We passed another bus with some goats on the roof.



We got into besisaha around 3:30 pm, Tara had a temperature and we had 2 to 3 hr walk up hill to get home.
So we fueled up on some food and local strong tea. Clarissa carrying Tara and her day pack fully loafed while i had the big pack and walking with Luke. We got in just after dusk exhausted but happy to be in a known place.
Tara was into bed for the next day after some paracetamol 39c temperature.
While we were away things have kicked off in preparation for building the school. The quarry is in full production digging stones out of a cliff, the volunteers carrying the stones 5 hrs a day.

5 large trees have been felled in the forest and cut by hand on the front lawn. The land still has millet yet to be harvested so this is all we can do for now.
