Part II: Nepal
In and around Nepal
This is the second part of Leah's journey, as they go to Nepal to visit the places that Leah and I were in only a year ago.
They continue on an incredible journey of caring, delivering CURE kits to the Leprosarium that we volunteered for last summer, Sewa Kendra, while helping the amazing Doctor Hira Predhan.
I will make the disclaimer again: this is actually Loy writing for Leah, updating her photos and posting her words regarding her adventures... (and I'll admit, sitting here in Eugene, I'm a little envious that I am not there with her, enjoying meals of dal bhat and nan, negotiating with taxi drivers, and hearing the man selling "aaps" in the morning. ("aap" is the Nepali word for mango))
