Today was a travel day. Tomorrow we have an English speaking guide/driver who will take us to Kathmandu University in the afternoon.
Some thoughts on what we are learning.
You can't do everything but everyone one can do something.
The focus on what causes what or what prevents what (medical and public health perspectives) doesn't account for the complexity of any situation that has to do with people.
What for example is the relationship between water and employability? I was reading up on perspectives of disability in the Global South. There's about six or seven steps and three or four intersecting factors which will come into play. Education is in the middle of all of those.
I was about to add some facts about how many of the world's children are out of school, how many of those are children with disabilities, how many die from sanitation related causes (open defecation issues)...
Numbers, statistics.
I think I'll just get to the pictures.
Welcome to Nepal.
Well darn. Having connectivity issues.
Watch this instead and let me know what you think.
