The water is back!

After a number of attempts to fix the water problems at the home, the water is finally flowing again. 100mtrs water pipe, costing of Rs.1800, was purchased. Pramod, Bob, Chandra, volunteers Jon and Ron and 5 guides and porters dug the pipe line. Now the water is working and the new bathroom in the volunteer's room is also ready for use the next time volunteers wish to stay.

A very big thank you to those who helped to dig the trench for the pipe, especially to the porters and guides from the Eco-Traveller's Lodge.

Water Problems

Workers fixing a nearby road damaged a pipe which supplied water to homes in the area. After nearly two weeks without water the children, house mother, Jyoti, and volunteers Tess, Maya and Amanda walked to a stream to collect water, bathe and do laundry.

After our hours the children had showered in the freezing cold mountain water and nearly all the laundry had been completed. The children will need to collect water in the mountains everyday until the water supply is restored. It is unsure when this will happen.
