Dherai paani and dherai raamro!

This morning on my way the OCCED there were so many morning glories.I was disappointed that I was not going to see the ones I planted flower(although I did see some others before I left) but this more than made up for it.The picture does not do it justice but will give you some idea.I didn't count them either!
I am not going to write an itinerary of my day any more but I thought yesterday it would give you an idea of what I am doing.
The piece of work is by Rabin (6 year old boy)He can read some Nepali and some English words.He is doing very well.
Yesterday we did the handprints and I told Kausalya that I was going to make a tree with them
She gave me a sideways look, shook her head and said 'OK?'.Today when we had cut out the handprints and I had put them up she just kept
looking at it and saying 'Dherai dherai raamro!' (very ,very beautiful) She asked to be photographed with it and for a copy of the photo.She was so pleased with it!
Before this afternoon I thought I had seen rain but this afternoon was
something else. It rained in sheets for about 3 hours continuously.The drain system in Kathmandu is not good so there was alot of surface flooding.It is the areas further down that I feel really sorry for as they are already suffering from the affect of flooding and todays rain will only add to their misery.
