It was lovely to reconnect with the children, the house and Nepal after a 2 year break due to my illness. Nothing really seemed to have changed and I felt right at home again straight away.
Of course there was the inevitable round of cleaning, fixing and replacing which I have come to expect, but on the whole it was a pleasant surprise. The children (or young people!) were still as lovely and I very much enjoyed my two weeks with them.
I did my usual shopping for saleable items to take back to Malaysia and this time I also learned to make jewellery myself, and bought the tools and beads etc. to bring back with me. I have been busy making necklaces, bracelets and earrings and have also found a source of semi-precious stones and crystals here in KL which will keep me going until I return next summer. I have two Christmas sales coming up in the next couple of weeks, and the proceeds will continue to supplement the sponsorship money. It seems that the prices in Nepal might be catching up a bit with the rest of the world.
Well, that’s about all for now, except to thank Dave and Mandy for updating the website and waiting so long for me to do my bit towards it.
Wishing all friends and sponsors a very Happy and Peaceful 2011.
Much love,
Michelle
