The last day!









Julley for the last time from Ladakh...(unless of course Izzy and Lex take some irresistible vacation pictures over the next 2 weeks and just have to share them!)

We said good-bye today to Deb, Eric, Lea and Kate who are now in Delhi doing last minute shopping and hanging out until their next flights. Hope you are having fun- have a great time in Montreal and France, Deb and Eric!

Lex and Izzy will head to Tso Moriri lake (wildlife and nomadic tribes nearby)tomorrow in the south of Ladakh for a few days and then onward to the Nubra Valley and hopefully a 4-day trek from Phangilla to Chilling. Also, His Holiness the Dalai Lama is visiting Ladakh in the next 2 weeks so lucky us!

We hope you've all enjoyed reading about our adventures here in Ladakh. Its been a successful project with a lot of ideas gathered for what we hope to do next year. Our big presentation is set for December 6th at the Chan Centre at BC Children's Hospital at 5.30pm. Mark your calendars- we promise it'll be great!

Pics:
1) The first yak on the blog! Taken near Chantang Pass when Izzy was on an outreach trip last week with Ladakh-Hilfe.

2) Water play at Shey picnic area. Deb, Kate and Lex took some of the hearing impaired girls from Chuchot Hostel (the King's hostel) on an outing last Sunday.

3) Izzy assisting a lovely monk who had a brain injury in Shayop.

4) The first donkey on the blog! Taken in Phiyang during a hike that Eric, David, Izzy and Lea attempted last Sunday.

5) The goodbye this morning at 6.15am- Lex and Izzy actually woke up in time to say goodbye to the rest of the team!


Julley,
Lex, Izzy, Deb, Eric, Kate, Lea and Tree (in spirit)
