We have Moved!
We are now located in Shaker Heights, OH. You
can still reach us at 301-587-0871 or contact us at awog@erols.com and aworldofgood@gmail.com.
We can no longer receive any mail at the Comcast address.
Many of you ask us how the kids are
doing. They're quite well and are enjoying their new school and neighborhood.
Joshua, 13, is taking clarinet lessons and singing and and Sean,
who is now 8, has finally cut his rat tail and looks like a tonsured monk.
He is still reading remarkably well and playing piano.
As usual, we are always making changes to
site slowly without taking the whole site off-line. In the meantime, there
will be some uncertainty about prices. We will update the prices as quickly
as we can. As the popular disclaimer says, prices are always subject to
change without notice. But when you place your order, we will contact you
about any changes before
we send your order and bill you so that you can make any
changes that you need to make.
In other news about Nepal,
there is a new government and new difficulties. The King no longer controls the government in
any capacity. For about 7 years, battles have erupted in rural areas and
small villages. While much of the difficulty has moved out
of the capital, there are still problems in the Terrai. Fuel
prices and food prices are out of control, and the poor are really
struggling to feed their families. If you would like to learn
more about the progress of reform in Nepal, you can find news coverage in
the major media outlets, such as CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington
Post, among others. If you haven't explored the on-line versions of such
news sources, you should give it a try. There's a world of information at
your fingertips. It's much easier to search for news that way than to find
a Nepal story buried deep in the actual newspaper.
Belief and Atit are doing very
well. Belief is on his way to college in Finland while Atit
is taking business courses in Nepal. We helped them to get through
high school, but unfortunately, their college tuition is beyond our
means. We are wishing them the best of luck.
We are now involved in a library
building project in the Rasuwa District of Nepal. For more information, look
at our blog goddessoftheconfluence.blogspot.com.

with Jeri on a future trip send her a note at awog@erols.com or aworldofgood@gmail.com.
Please check the State Department website for travel recommendations

filled 2011!
Sincerely,
