| This is the State flower, a gentleman told us... |
 |
| Note the homes stuck on the hills, and even across the way on the ridge...does anyone ever fall off their mountain? (Note the terraced gardening). |
 |
| A man collecting water at the old source--it takes 1 hour to fill one of those cans. The new project, nearly completed, will remedy this. This project began in 2012, so it has been a long time coming. They should have water in their taps at the end of the month! |

| Jim watched these men building this house and thought what a good job that they were doing, using rebar and cement! We don't always see good construction in the countries we visit. |
 |
| Just another beautiful old tree. We see many in our travels. |
 |
| The LDSC plaque written in Nepalese given to the Chilaunepani group, the good project that the Red Cross took over when it stalled because of poor management and corruption. They had funds leftover from the earthquake that they were able to use to complete this very important project, one of the best that was needed. We will continue to help financially and oversee its completion. Kiran Neupane is next to me, the Red Cross engineer in front of Jim, and the Red Cross manager for the project next to Elder Wilkinson. |
 |
| This is the highest and third tank for the Chilaunepani project, perched on the top of the mountain. It has been difficult getting the right engineering to get the water from way down below at the spring source, and up to the tanks and then distributed into taps near their homes. Their arduous walks will no longer take up their entire days. |
 |
| Jim usually has something to say about their construction methods and asks them to secure pipes in a better fashion. |
