News from Nepal: School & a new bicycle for Yubaraj

Some wonderful news to share from Nepal :)

School begins

Yubaraj passed his entrance exam and has enrolled in sixth grade in Nepaltar school in Balaju! We'll share photos of his new life as a student as soon as they arrive, and in the meantime are just thrilled that Yubaraj is a full-time student as we all wished for him nearly a year ago. Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A new bicycle

Basu Gnawali, who carefully monitors all of the expenses for this project, suggested that finding a bicycle for Yubaraj might be a better transportation option than using a bus to get to and from school. We agreed that although a bicycle would save money in the long run, and would give Yubaraj more freedom in getting around Kathmandu, it would be better still if we could find someone who would be willing to donate a bicycle to our new student.

Chhimi U. Gurung of Dawn Till Dusk, replied to our request immediately and generously and Yubaraj now has this fantastic bike!!

If you're in Nepal and want to spend time on a bike while you're there, please look them up. They're the only mountain biking company in Nepal run by professional Nepali mountain bikers, and they organize mountain bike tours to Tibet, Nepal, Ladakh, Sikkim and Bhutan. Thank you Chhimi and Dawn Till Dusk!!!
