Visiting the women’s school where Asha is a board member. For various reasons, these women have never completed their education, but now are making up for lost time. The school hours have been adjusted so that they can combine it with their other tasks and everyone pays according to their ability. Empowerment at its best.

Had a super ‘see you later’ party at the Lotus family home with song, dance and taekwondo. Fantastic 
Afterwards we all went out for dinner; for the kids is was the first time in 5 years. Great night. Extra fun because Imke, Merel and André were there. 
So much joy. Love you all

We quickly played tourist on the must-see Durban square, bought Nepali tea and burned a candle at the Stupa.

Over the years I applied the rule of ‘never saying goodbye’; instead I always say ‘see you later’. That time of the journey has now arrived. Today we had a nice ‘see you later’ lunch with our graduate nurses Fudoma, Tsering and Ellie. It was also my fourth birthday party, complete with cake. 😋 Afterwards we went to say see you later said in the DRC.
It always hurts a little, but luckily I’m sure I’ll come back. Miss you already dear big and small Nepali friends.

On this rainy day we went shopping for those fantastic Nepal wollen vests in Thamel. And of course some tea/coffee. We won’t be cold this winter. 🤩

Thanks to the family and friends of André, Imke and Merel, we were able to take all the girls and staff of the NWCSS orphanage out for a day. The weather wasn’t great, but that didn’t spoil the fun. We walked. Had delicious food. We played, danced and chilled. The children ENJOYED it and so did we. It was so much fun
