ISP prep-time
SO... I've been back in Kathmandu for a little over a week now and it has been busy! Back to the rigors of language class - but only two hours everyday. The first week back was spent deciding whether or not I wanted to go to Dharamsala or Ladakh - but the decision has been made and to Ladakh I will go!!!! My plan is to go there and research the recent disastrous flood that happened in August. Beyond that I'm not exactly sure where the project will take me - but I know it will be a great adventure. The only other people who are going are Erik and Jon but they plan on traveling around the region a lot so I will be pretty much on my own. But other than that not much is new here - just trying to get everything together. I head out on Saturday - we'll fly through Delhi and then up to Ladakh (with a nice fourteen hour layover in Delhi - but at least they just redid the airport so its actually not so bad). Hopefully, I'll be giving another update from Ladakh with how the research is going!!! Love you all!

I'm glad you made a decision. It should be really awesome.
ReplyDeleteLeah, I have a very close friend and colleague that is currently in Kathmandu on a work trip for Save the Children. If you have any interest at all in hearing about what it takes to make a career out of international development or just want to hear about Save the Children's work in Nepal, I'd be happy to put you in touch with her.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how much longer you will be there, but Nitika should be bumping around Kathmandu for another week or week and a half.
Hope your project is going well,
Justin
