| SHIVA Charity update. Nepal 2001.... | ||
 |
The Babu Chiri stupa (gumba) is at the bottom entrance to Swayambhu temple. Friends and family were there to do pooja in July. It was a very moving experience with the ceremony and the chanting, and the raising of the prayer flags. | |
| Ang Phuti, Babu's wife, was there with one of
her daughters, Tashi. Later Anil (SHIVA Project Manager)
myself and Karma, went with Ang Phuti to visit her
daughters' school. Five of her six daughters attend the Mahandra Bhawan Girls' High School, Naxal, Kathmandu. |

They have been sponsored by individuals from France and from Nepal. The school is a large one, administered by Unicef, and the teachers are well qualified and friendly. We were all very impressed, and happy that Babu's daughters are in good hands. | |

 |
I had the great privilege to cut the tape and officially open the school in August. The building itself is fine and sturdy, though, like most schools in Nepal, could do with better lighting! |  |
 |
There was also only one local teacher, and when we arrived, just eleven pupils. I had brought an experienced teacher from Darjeeling (Aganat) with me, and he has the job of increasing the intake to at least thirty five by December. SHIVA charity will pay the monthly salary of both teachers. | |
| Kimberly Rae Pease trekked with us to Taksindu, Akang, and Chhulemu. She has started "Nameste" charity to help education in Nepal and Tibet. Here she is being welcomed by some of the children from Babu Chiri BKP School. |  |
