School #2-whole compound.
The building we put in was a critical addition to the area. Incidentally, the location was only a hundred yards from where I served as a PCV 20 years earlier.
School #2: Sucrawar School Addition
This project was done with donations from our church, Hope Christian, and some matching government grants. We gave them $2000, and with the matching money, they were able to build this facility. I casually joke that the public schools in our area can't do a bathroom remodel for $2000.
First School, 1989
This one was built while I was in the Peace Corps. The school housed 700+ students and was completed at a total cost of $2700Tickets
I have purchased my tickets. Marty and I are leaving on 14 March and arriving at 9:15 am on March 16th. I learned my lesson from my last trip-I am getting out of Kathmandu as soon as we land and will be going to Dhulikel, a small town about 30 miles north of Kathmandu, where the air is clean and the environment is quieter.
We intend to leave Nepal and begin our return on 30 March.

Dates and a Committment
My close friend Marty volunteered to come with me to Nepal to act as my site engineer. YES!
We have dates, as well. Leave March 14th and return April 2. I am ready to go.

Starting Point
My wife is happy. My kids are well adjusted. I have no debt and am healthy. My business is filled with talented people whom I trust, and it creates more than adequate wealth for me. So, now what do I do? That is the question.
In March, it is my intention to travel to Nepal and visit the Dang Valley. I lived there between 1987-1989 as a Peace Corps Volunteer. On this visit, I am going to see old colleagues and visit some sites of a proposed non-profit school that the community there needs some help in building.
The intention is for them to provide the land and some of the labor. Hopefully, others can contribute money to pay for cost of the materials. I have asked others to assist getting the finances and doing some of the engineering. No, there is no budget yet. No there is no fixed start date.
