Visiting a refuge outside Kathmandu

Yesterday I went to one of the refuges where they work with their rescued kids. At this particular site there were kids aged anywhere from 4-18 years old. There was also a toddler,I think that he is a recent arrival.

The kids were great, they are extremely nice and really interested in you. They are also really interesting themselves. They also are really nice to each other, they are like one big family.

So While I was there I played volleyball with some of the boys and they are VERY good. I cant even remember the last time I played, so needless to say I didn't play very well, but it was really fun none the less.

The kids there also have the option to learn karate or gymnastics. A couple of the boys there have won gold medals in Nepali competitions.

This particular refuge was also about an hour outside of Kathmandu. The refuge consists of about three or four buildings. The kids are live and are schooled in these buildings. It was a really nice place, and from that area you could see all the mountains really well.

So far the weather has been pretty cloudy and at times rainy. Tomorrow I will be going to another one of their refuges in southern Nepal, about seven hours away. At this particular refuge, they make the mosaics which the EB Trust is also well known for.
