✮ We wish you a slow & peaceful holiday ✮
We took the "Merry Christmas" pic
when we visited
Maya Universe Academy in
April 2014 ;)
They have now started to build
a new toilet
for the money we collected
from our sales in 2013,
and we are in the planning stage for
the money
we collected this year.
We are looking forward to
tell you more about it
&
show you some results next year!

Stories of Nepal
When Jay, the photographer behind Stories Of Nepal
reached
the top of a hill,
he met these two little fellas.
The one with the yellow
beanie looked really discontent
and was talking to himself.
Jay asked him what
the matter was and he said that
he was upset that his brother won’t return
his
pen and his notebook.
