Patan, Kathmandu, Nepal

(The river: Trash everywhere)

We arrived safely Thursday at about 2 o´clock and had no problems on the trip at all. We feel very lucky, though we were extremely tired because we travelled for 30 hours with almost no sleep. Friday we came to the orphanage – Horac/Nepal. Home for rescue of the afflicted Children. It is in Patan which is a kind of suburb to Kathmandu. (Adress: 21214, Kopundole, lalitpur, Patan, Kathmandu, Nepal) There are about 30 children at the orphanage between 2 and 17 years old.

There is also two other volunteers here – Cecilie and Elsebeth and we ALL have blond hair so everybody is staring at us in the street. It is a little bit colder here than we thought, but it is okay because it is not okay to show too much skin. The children seem so happy at the orphanage and they are so sweet all of them. They have much better conditions than what we thought. Another surprise is that they are Christian – we went to church with them last Saturday.

The orphanages dogs. Sweetie and Lucky. The puppy Lucky is dead now cause it was hit by a car and the eye 'plopped' out (pretty gross)
