Julley everyone,
Here are some more photos from the 2 weeks out in the villages. All of the villages we visited were in the Domkar Valley and a couple were closer to the Pakistan border.
1st pic: An elderly lady who we helped with cleaning and dressing of her foot wound in Chanchucks village. We then adapted her shoe to relieve pressure -she helped with the adaptation since she has been a shoemaker for 40 years!
2nd pic: Lex and Tree with baby goat "Akexis" in Kurembik village (the highest village we trekked to at 4100 metres).
3rd pic: Lea doing some self-help shopping in the first store we found in over 10 days!- in Skurbachen village.
4th pic: Kate playing Lego with the school kids in Dho village.
5th pic: The infamous 1st back care workshop in Gongma village. Eric (as a pregnant village lady!) and David acting; Deb filming; and Izzy and Tree leading the workshop.
Some more highlights (and lowlights) from the adventure:
1)High point= watching the guys (our team of helpers) dance into the late hours of the night/Low point= waiting to go to bed because the guys were dancing in our sleeping area!
2)High point= taking the local buses between accessible villages/Low point= waiting for the local bus and wondering if it will show up!! (everything is on "Indian time")
3) High point= sleeping under the stars/Low point= sleeping with bed bugs
4) High point= having a toilet within close range to our sleeping areas/Low point=not having a toilet or else having a hole within view of the cooking area!
5) High point= trekking to new villages through incredible valleys/Low point= trekking in the rain with very limited rain gear!
Until next time,
the gang.
p.s. Jen- how was the race??
