We've spent the last week and a half getting stuck into our volunteering project here in the capital, Kathmandu. We've settled into our office which is only a 25 minute walk away from our lovely room in Patan. We both have computers, but the electricity is provided on a shared grid system, so we only receive it at certain times of the day. The plus side of this is that everyone in the office talks to each other really well. What a great, welcoming group of people we are working with.
The downside is obvious since most of our work involves Excel, Word and email. Initial work has involved project planning the next two months, preparing stakeholder engagement strategies / meeting frameworks and drafting presentations. Literally like being back at work in the UK!
Aside from the volunteering, we managed to spend last weekend looking around Patan properly for the first time. We took in some impressive temples...
...creepy faces...
...impressive front doors...
...buildings being held up by sticks...
...and some locals...
