Pokhora Full ICO Day 2

Today was so enjoyable. We walked to meet all of the students and some of their family members at a bakery. It was so.ewhat overwhelming initially. We all split up and sat with different students and chatted and asked questions. They all speak English and can carry on a good conversation. We all hooped on a bus to the Annapurna Cable Car. It was fun to ride up with students and their families, and for many this was a first. Once up the mountain we walked to the very top to see the temple and a very large fiberglass sculpture of the God, Ganesh.
We were able to chat more with the students. I spoke with Gita, a teacher from Beni. She was so nice and we exchanged information through WhatsApp to keep in touch. We all had lunch together and we presented the students with backpacks and the graduating students received an extra gift. We learned so much about the student's families and how often they can make it home, how they communicate when away from their families, the length of their programs, etc. This was a very rewarding day on so many levels.Leggi altro
