Today we went to another project of All Hands. They just finished the school was officially handed over to the students/village. People were dancing, celebrating, having fun. There was a parade through the village with lots of volunteers and the local people. Some were wearing traditional clothes and dancing to their music. As we came close to the school the students formed like a tunnel for us volunteers and everyone got one of the traditional Nepalese heats. It was amazing to see how happy the children have been and clapped for us. Then the boring part (speeches, greetings,... :D) started. In the end we had lunch together.
All in all a very fascinating day. We could see how the schools we're building will (hopefully) once look like and how happy the people are about it. And we could discover more of the Nepalese culture and traditions.Read more
