Previous page: Working on Saraswati, one of three schools being built

during our stay in Sindhuli; approaching the village of Meta in the Nar

Phu Valley, with Brent Hall leading the way. Clockwise from top: Moving

gravel (foreground) in order to sift sand (background) to mix cement

(back right); a volunteer delivering another load of dirt, fast; volunteers

sleep in tents above the Shree Ma Vii school site (BYO shelter).

“ ‘Work’ on the schools was

so much fun and so

personally rewarding that it

didn’t seem like work.”

–BILL HORTON, TRIP PARTICIPANT
