Today is our first real training day but the teachers will not be available until 10am as they are teaching SLC certificate to year 10 until then. They start at 6:30.
It started raining today which brought the temperature down. I mentioned earlier that the doors to the bedroom and toilet are tiny. We all at some time bang our heads on the concrete lintel so all of us have abrasions on our heads.
Part of the Buddhist belief is that when they die if they have not been good enough to achieve Nirvana they will be returned to earth to try again. This is why a baby cries when it is born. It has realised it has not gone to Nirvana but has been returned to earth and is crying "oh no not again".
Our cook had to go to Kathmandu to attend a family funeral so Lil took over to cook Pasta for lunch. We will wait to see what we have tonight.
This is Daraun. The school is at the top of the hill and the house where we are living is to the left where you see a white blotch, which is a parachute!!
The teachers completed the exercises we left with them and we continued their Word training then started on PowerPoint. At the end of the day we had a meeting with the head teacher, the IT teachers and the chairman and treasurer of the management committee to discuss the use/misuse of the equipment.
It is cold today and we have had to add another layer. The house does not have a fire everyone just wears more to keep warm. It probably doesn't help that we also have a power cut until 9pm. By the time it comes on we will we ready to jump into the sleeping bags to get warm.
We move into the main room for dinner by torchlight then it starts to rain again.
