Today was my last day visiting the school i was working with. My morning started with trying to buy over 200 bars or soap, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. You can probably guess that there is no Costco here in Kathmandu so it wasn't so easy. Now that I think of it I've only seen one "grocery store" and it was in the tourist district.
So somehow we managed to get what we needed (almost everything-i was secretly hoping some kids would be absent just in case we didn't have enough for everyone) from this tiny, dusty, hole in the wall "store." Then we were on our way to the school with our boxes on top of the taxi ripping thru dusty side streets. Oh btw, there was another
cow traffic jam this morning which made me late for work, or on time Nepali style. We neared the school and some of the kids saw us and started yelling excitedly. I think we caught them after their exams were over because they were all out of control. After getting everyone back into their rooms we started visiting the different classes. Before handing out the supplies
we had the kids review that I taught the other day and they did surprisingly well. Well except maybe the youngest grade, they were all over the place. Everyone was thankful and seemed happy to receive what we were handing out. I was happy that they remembered what I taught them. Hopefully they'll actually use the stuff!
