Today was an administration and planning day so that we could ensure that in my last week some of the rats and mice can get sorted out. Although many of the projects are going to continue until the end of the year and into next year, aspects of them can be organised so that when things get back on an even keel after the unofficial blockade, (which at this stage shows no signs of ending) the projects will recommence effectively.
Thanks to Nirmal we have got a really good price for the Hygiene Kits through his market contacts and we should be able to distribute them prior to my departure on Thursday in Thakre, Dhading to the most vulnerable families in that area.
Basanta has also been able to confirm with the local supplier in Arkhet Bazaar, that the CGI sheets for his village will be available for pick up this coming week. The villagers have also bandied together to raise the funds needed to get the bundles transported to the village by helicopter, rather than everyone having to do a strenuous two day trek carrying bundles of CGI over the hills.
We hope to be able to supply further CGI sheets to Runchet as funds allow so that they have the materials to reconstruct part of the school. But we are waiting on confirmation of other aspects of a couple of projects so that we can make a bulk order to a major supplier.
The formatting of all the Draft IES Final Reports has been done, now for the remainder of the week I need to put in some explanations of where we are at with each area of the report – fun times! What’s more we now have a pretty full week lined up…
