This morning I was feeling a lot better, although the stomach was still gurgling away and a bit queasy. But I was keen to get out of the house and out into the field to do a site visit. So, MJ & I headed out to Dhading to check on the use of the CGI that was distributed for the people of Thakre, while we were out of the country a few weeks ago.
Some of the people in the community have already started using the CGI sheets that we supplied them with, for roofing or for the side walls of their homes.
While others have set it aside as they start rebuilding their homes on the original site so that they can stay in the temporary shelter until their house is completed.
Obviously due to the upcoming festival many people have put building work on hold and the ongoing fuel shortage has caused quite a few hassles in getting much needed building supplies.
Therefore, some people are having to wait until building materials such as nails, screws, bolts and tools start coming back into the shops.
Again, as in the majority of cases that we have come across, the people are very thankful for any assistance that is given to them and they are keen to show their appreciation to us for what we have provided for them.
In the afternoon we headed back to the house to have a team meeting with Damaris and get an idea of what is expected over the coming few weeks as our part of the Emergency Response starts to transition to Recovery.
Obviously as much as we are able to, we need to close as many of the open projects as we can, so that the Permanent Project Team can concentrate on the projects that are currently being put through the approval process.
Due to the way I had been feeling yesterday and how my stomach was still a bit tender I had an early night, as Heather & I need to be at the airport tomorrow bright and early for our excursion to Runchet in Gorkha where we will be staying overnight.
