Life in an orphanage is quite fun apart from the food. The kids all like playing and cuddling me. Sometimes they are a bit smelly, but they can't help it. They don't have tissues, so they don't blow their noses. They sniffle a lot. They don't own anything of their own. They have to share everything.
It is the end of rainy season, so it still rains quite a bit. There is a local washing area in the village where you wash, but you have to keep some clothes on. It is very cold.
The village has a very cool irrigation system. They catch water from the melting snow higher up and direct the water to the washing area and down through the village so people can water their crops and wash their clothes.
We had to walk for 2 and ½ hours to the market today and then home again to buy some treats for the kids, because tomorrow is Kids Day in Nepal. We are all excited about kids' day tomorrow. We also emailed dad. We miss him.
Shree, one of the boys hurt his foot. Mum thinks it could be broken. Bhakta and Bimila put curry powder and cow manure on it to fix it.
I think I am very lucky that I have a Mum and Dad that love me. I like that we have a variety of food available at home. I like that we have hot water, a bathroom that doesn't stink and power.
