I lived near the High
School, the cluster of
buildings in the center of the picture, for
a year during 1971 and 72, teaching arithematic and science.
I arrived in
January of 1971 and taught until summer vaction when I hiked into
Kathmandu where I spent the summer. The following fall I took 6
weeks off to help climb a mountain near Annapourna. I
taught again from December until June of 1992 when I again went
to Kathmandu for the summer. When I returned after summer vacation I
decided that staying the last three months of my Peace Corps tour would
accomplish little, and being homesick, I went home, which was a
mistake. When I returned, unannounced, 37 years later I was welcomed as
the prodigal son. I have been helping the school get computers
and internet since and correspond with friends in Nepal several times a
week by email and skype. |
