Once he returned to Kathmandu, Narayan posted many photos of the rebuilding project in the Thulachhap village of the Okhaldhunga district. Here, Narayan explains the impact Journeys Nepal was able to have, as well as the work that is still to be done.

From Narayan: We helped to renovate and build 32 homes for the villagers, and we built a shelter for the school (Raktamala Primary school) where 220 students are studying. We also donated some paper to the school.

The village is thickly populated by lower caste people (Kami, Damai Sarki) who are very poor economically but so rich for their culture. We were so touched by the smile and friendliness of the people. I have seen many people’s eyes full of tears, seeing how happy they were when we distributed zinc sheet and building materials.

Monsoon season is nearly here, and we are glad to be making progress, but there is so much more to be done. Our hearts go out to those who are still without basic necessities, and we hope that public and private sectors in Nepal can pull together and reach those communities in time.
