Last Days in Nepal and a Bit From Before

These are some Photos from my last days in my village. I am quite computer illiterate, so these are in reverse chronological order. Basically they depict some photos from my school, a bit from our last day in which we were covered in tika, and some random shots from around the village.
My little friends from the Chiya shop

One last photo with my beloved deaf students


Us with all of the teachers



One of my favorite things about Nepal is the tika (the red stuff). And when people go away we are entitled to tons of it.














The beginning of our goodbye ceremony



All assmbly-type events were held outside.






NAMASTE!






Just hanging out in the ol' schoolyard





I used to kid this little fella that his tooth was eaten by a mouse.






The beautiful family portrait.






Aama cookin up some grub




There is nothing on this planet like a big mouthful of daal bhat

Holding the little God-boy










Little Andy got a little gift from America

Studying hard at school

The last month or two of my time our tap didn't really have water very often, so we would gather it from this little spot from a stream.





Once the monsoon season began, these tin roofs at the school didnt really last long.


Parents and teachers gathering for a meeting.



Pusha (worship)




This is a wedding from before I went trekking. A long walk with dancing to awesome horns the entire time.


These are some pictures from a Women's Day rally. We walked in front of the government buildings reminding them that women too have a voice.
