However, the shipping would probably cost more than the books are worth. That is why I was recommending posters or something light. Currently, the road to the school near Tatopani is washed out. They won't be able to receive packages for 4 months. The best way to give books to students in Nepal is through 'Room to Read.' I have put a link to their website top right of my blog. The students can receive a book for a buck! These are good books printed in both English and Nepalese. <br /><br />As soon as the school sends me their proposal, I will be collecting money and wiring it to Nepal for the library. But if you have books that you just want to send right now please don't let me slow you down. The kids would love it. *Also, I can hand carry up to 50 lbs of books to Nepal on my next trip but that won't be for several months.Butternut Squashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703748547994069092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809185710327113434.post-55094129386436656992010-07-10T17:54:24.839-04:002010-07-10T17:54:24.839-04:00Ellen, you are always welcome to join me.

Start saving those pennies. $2,000 will get you over and back and about $1,000 would allow you to do all of the things that I did on this last trip...food and lodging for 2 weeks, mountain flight around Everest, trip to the mountains, trip to the jungle to ride elephants. I'll post about the jungle later.Butternut Squashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703748547994069092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809185710327113434.post-16354531790841985312010-07-10T16:02:26.964-04:002010-07-10T16:02:26.964-04:00Exquisite architecture - beautifully featured in y...Exquisite architecture - beautifully featured in your photographs.

I can see why you return to this place and bring back pieces and information to share with the rest of the world. I hope you have much success in helping the school children. <br /><br />If I get posters and similar products for the school, could I just send them in the mail?Leeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655189620056032790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5809185710327113434.post-8579118917423708822010-07-10T09:31:32.797-04:002010-07-10T09:31:32.797-04:00I wanna go there!
