Beautiful Moon and Little Sun / Kathmandu today 22.11.15

First action when I arrived at the orphanage was to introduce me to the new baby. He is 3 weeks old, his name is Beautiful Moon and of course he is gorgeous.  Laxmi said to me: “He is your son. Now you and I have a baby.”:) Many of her neighbors asked her to give…

On my way / Time is a Challenge – as always 

I arrived at the airport with 3 pieces of luggage. All in all 35kg without hand luggage. Being a silver card holder not an issue I thought. Thinking is not always easy 😦 and it didn’t help, that I forgot my airline card. 175€ per extra luggage! No way. I managed to reduce it to…

Nepal I am coming again / Help Raising Funds

Some of you asked me during my trip to Nepal if I had a donation option to support Laxmi and her 11 orphans. Which retrospectively would have been a great idea. But as you can see I am learning as we speak. 22 days left to go! It would be great if you would help…

Donation – I am working on a way with the lady who runs the guest house to collect donations to buy things for the villages. Her truck with rice is blocked in the mountains  since the 2 earthquake –  on the way to a remote village. Apparently government received a lot of donations so far,…

“Time to let go.” /Ready for Heaven 

Today we went to Pashupatinath. The good news: It is hardly effected by the earthquakes. As this is the most famous place you can imagine how busy it is, especially a few weeks ago … The atmosphere is peaceful and calm. People watch the ceremonies and some had something like a little pick nick. I…
