I suddenly realised that for all my posts I've still not mentioned Rural assistance Nepal. This is the charity that has found me placements to go to and organised my hotel stays and airport pickup - Marianne Heredge has been amazing at organising everything in an almost chilled out Nepalese manner. There were no charity fees - although you may decide to donate some money to RAN- but you do have to fund your own way -i.e. rent and food - its all very cheap.
More information can be found on the website : http://www.rannepal.org/index.php?pg=2
I was also thinking should anyone from any school (cough st marys... cough) wanted to raise any funds - it would be best to go through this charity as Marianne can ensure that the money goes to building a library for example - as the school in Pokri Chauri didn't have one. Maybe there are computers which can be donated - the school in Pokri Chauri has one - but it doesn't work. Maybe sponsoring teachers or poorer students so that a better education can be given. Or maybe some of you would like to go out to Nepal and volunteer here too! It is wonderful... and the momos are very tasty - although they don't have momos in Pokri Chauri.
