Just a couple of pictures to share from a trip to the village to observe 2 of my cowokers doing a disability rights awareness training for 30 local villagers.Top photo: Me in local Nepali wear!Photo #2: This is a close up of the bridge that I am standing onPhoto #3: Local village disablity advocate (front) and my coworker/trainer, Nawaraj Ji, backPhoto #4: Participants in the trainingYesterday I took a minivan trip from Hetauda to a local VDC (Village Development Committee) area. About 30 minutes away. Then walked about 20 minutes to where my coworkers were holding their training - over a river and a very simply built bridge that is far under water during the rainy/monsoon season.This village area is known locally for the vegetables that they grow. Lots of the cauliflower that I eat every day comes from here.
