21 February, Saturday. Kathmandu. Shopmission Sponsors.
Alarm: 09.00
Breakfast: 10.00.
On our way to H.E. again, where this time Nabin was. He joined us for a drink at New Orleans Cafe. rita and Nabin had a catch up about our 'adventures' of the past 3 weeks, which opportunity I grabbed to start to fill in the missing diary pages.
Accompanied by Nabin again on mission for the sponsor project.
In a conversation with Kay - the volunteer at C.W.A., we learned that she had a 'big' wish. She wanted to do creative things with the children, but she said there was no material in the home to use. I have to check this out when I am back in Pokhara (one of the many thing my To Do list). We promised her to try to find the things she wanted for her 5 weeks more volunteering stay at C.W.A.
A book about origami and coloured paper (so Jeevan is NOT using the homework books of the older children anymore to build his 'rockets') and beats to make bracelets and necklaces with the girls.
Happy with her ideas we were more than willing to get her this material.
In the Pilgrims book house Rita found a few excellent books with examples of being creative with paper. In the back of the book were a few pieces of coloured paper.
Nr. 1 on the list done!
With the great help of Nabin we also got to a whole sale shop of beads, where I bought with YOUR money a few kilo of all kinds of different beats and the thread needed.
Next step: finding boxes to safe the beats in.
Again Nabin (with my backpack filled with a few kilo beats on his back) took us to a small shop somewhere in one of the many side streets. He knew exactly what we needed AND where to find it. Without his help, we would never have found it AND for sure would have got lost, with our famous sense of direction.
On the way I spotted a small kiosk that had coloured paper. rita bought several sheets of each colour. Together with the how to books that is again her donation for the C.W.A.-kids.
Next move: a warm sweater for me and a watch! So far we used Rita's mobile or her watch for the time and the alarm. With her leaving tomorrow I do need my own (my mobile runs out of battery every time with not enough time of electricity to charge its battery). I ended up with a mini alarm clock, pink with Kitty on it, for small children, but it does do the job.
Last on the list: a warm sweater. In one of the many trekking material shops I found easily a fleece. The North Face sweater and our shopping mission was very successful and rather quick completed.
A bit tired, but very satisfied again - a little rest in our room while Rita packed for her departure tomorrow back to England.
Back at 20.00 at H.E. where we met Dill, Nabin and 2 other guides (I am useless with names) to go out together for our last meal at the Northfield Cafe this time.
The boys took us to another local bar for Rita's farewell drink.
23.30 back in the room, both ready for a good night sleep.
