Mum and Dad, Simon and Rachel Holden arrive in Nepal

 Well, after delays arriving due to a bomb scare closing Kathmandu airport Mum and Dad Holden arrived to a dark and chaotic Kathmandu. It rained for the day that we had there, the monsoons final hurrah. As the rains were cleared and the sun set these photos were taken.....

 We then came over to Pokhara and went boating on the lake before we had dinner at a hostel that Mark and Jo have been involved in. They welcomed us like heros with a standing procession, flowers and songs. These children are from very poor backgrounds and have been bought to Pokhara to receive an education and hopefully be able to input into their village later. Some have behavioural and learning problems but are thriving in the loving environment of a large Christian family. It was a special evening.
