Sudip, my Nepal Rotary partner, and I visited the location of our third sewing center at the Sindhuli School for the Deaf.
Here you can see the principal welcoming me, some young students, and older students, putting up with my very weak attempts to sign the few words that I know.
The students were incredibly gracious, and very respectful. Despite our lack of ability to communicate with mouths
and hands, we had a fun time together. The campus facility is basic, but kept very orderly and clean.
The students, their parents and the principal are very excited about the sewing training that will give students practical skills that they can apply into their futures. The training should begin within the next two months.
The volleyball, net, and the volleyballs and basketballs are in pretty bad shape. I hope we can raise some extra money to buy new ones.
Today was really special. After all the planning, analyzing, and budgeting, it was very meaningful to meet the actual people involved in this project- Students with real lives and real futures.
