I haven't been checking your blog till Scott sent me the address today. Wow amazing pictures and stories! I spent more than an hour reading all these stories while watching the pictures, it made me feel that I am watching a movie, as if I am really with you in Nepal all what is missing are smells and sound and that I can imagine :) Saru’s Kitchen reminds me of kitchens in the Egyptian country side, it is astonishing how distant cultures can be so similar. Hugs Amr Scott & Amy

I am filled with such glee at seeing and hearing fresh batches right out of the camera/blog. What an amazing world we live in. As to the question of social justice - totally totally stumped. I think we are awash in consumerism and it doesn't make us happy. The number of depressed, medicated people in this land of plenty is astonishing. There is something in that. Are these people in storage-shed size houses happy? I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it. A much greater sense of connection to land and spirit (and family too, for that matter) I expect. But truly, I have no idea. I am curious about what made you sad, Aim - the abject poverty, the disparity of creature comforts, the living on top of a busy street, the people themselves? THe pictures are so beautiful - I am so looking forward to getting to know these girls through your lenses. I love that you are trying to learn and remember all their names. What an experience for them - to be important - the subject of a film, of photographs, to have evidence of such belief in their potential, their value in the world. Makes me so proud to think of you there, enlarging their lives, expanding their reach. I miss you enormously, as always. THanks for the excellent posts. Thrilling. Ele oh oh oh!
