So our time here draws to a close. Not too much extra to report. We are both feeling ready to come home now, although not homesick as such I think we feel our usefulness is coming to an end and it's better for local staff (as intended) to get on with doing what they do and try to improve some things as per recommendations. We feel a bit pulled in many directions. Local staff are trying to squeeze in last minute things that could've been done earlier but weren't, usually with "Nepali time" as the reason.... we are being asked to write reports for GMF and also to present for FHI next week - initially twice on 2 days, now three times on days which keep changing, neglecting the fact we have asked for time off to sort a few things out in Kathmandu, and also failing to appreciate that we could return home earlier if the days do change... we shall see. Patience definitely required at these final hurdles. Life is generally good though - a few dinners arranged to say goodbye to new friends in the next few days. Will be strange to leave yet we have confidence in much of the local structure and the ability of local staff to take things forward.
One thing I am looking forward to is a good, RVT style dance!!
Hope to post a couple more times before the return home. I really can't thank everyone enough for the support during he fundraising and our time here. Has been truly incredible.
Thanks indeed.
