December 31, 2004Photos: Orphanage, Part 2As promised/threatened, here are more pictures from the orphanage. As I think I indicated earlier, I am acutely aware that these will hold more interest for me than for you guys. When we are sitting around drinking tea after putting...Read this update December 27, 2004Godawari: Three Days of ChristmasIf you happen to walk into the Little Princes Orphanage, especially around 6 p.m. or so when the kids have free time and are at the zenith of hyper-activity, it looks like madness. It’s unlikely that you would even see...Read this update December 22, 2004Godawari: So This is ChristmasIt is tough out here in Godawari to remember that much of the Western world is in a Christmas frenzy at the moment. I have not lived in the U.S. for about eight years now, but this is the one...Read this update December 20, 2004Godawari: Stuffed.My friend Rachel recently asked me in an email if I ever got an answer as to what happened to the chicken bones that mysteriously disappeared off the kids’ plates on the first day I arrived. (If you have no...Read this update December 17, 2004Godawari: To Pee or Not to PeeIt never really occurred to me that you could actually get better at working with kids. But in fact, like anything else, practice makes...well not perfect, but certainly less horrible. I have found that I have been doing fewer things...Read this update December 16, 2004Photos: IndiaIt is difficult to remember that I was even IN India about seven weeks ago, but now that I have the ability to post photos, post photos I shall do, even if nobody gives a hoot about these ones. Lucky...Read this update December 14, 2004Godawari: The GodfatherAll eighteen kids at the Little Princes orphanage have distinct personalities. You probably already guessed that. I myself had never worked with children before, so my only real experience was in noting the differences between me and my sister Kate...Read this update December 11, 2004Photos: The Orphanage, Part IMy friend Jen is a bright woman. She recently made an astute comment under the Everest photos entry: if you're in a place like the Solu-Khumbu region, which is home to Mt. Everest, and you manage to get anything in...Read this update December 10, 2004Godawari: The Security SituationI really love Nepal. It is a beautiful country, I like the people, and I am personally having a great experience here: first with the trek and especially now with our kids here in Godawari. Working in an orphanage, one...Read this update December 06, 2004Photos: Everest TrekOk, amigos, I'm trying something new here, so bear with me. I am about as technically capable as a bag of groceries, and for a while I have wanted to post some photos, but have had neither the chance nor...Read this update Godawari: Le Pique-NiqueThere are certain times when the kids at the Little Princes orphanage seem so self-sufficient that I wonder if they need any supervision at all. Bedtime is not one of those times. And last Friday's bedtime, the night before our...Read this update December 05, 2004Godawari: Home-schooledThere are times when the entire day passes and I find I haven't even left the orphanage, especially on the days when the kids have no school (for whatever reason). On one such holiday a few days ago, some of...Read this update December 02, 2004Godawari: Book Learnin'I've always loved hearing stories from people who teach little kids. My sister Kate, her boyfriend Jim, my friend Nicole - all of them are naturals when it comes to working with children; their stories are simultaneously hilarious and moving....Read this update |
