An update form The Somerville A Team from their community project
Namaste everyone!
Sorry it has been a while since we checked in.
Here is a recap of our community project!!
After a quick 15-minute bus ride out of Pokhara, the 17 of us turned into the gates of Pal Ewam Namgyal Monastic School to be greetedd by the 50 odd school students, or 'mini monks' as we later deemed them, in a sea of red. We soon settled into our accommodation and got to know the kidss throuh a game of soccer that soon became an afternoon ritual. Whilile the older ones joinnedd the teachers and monks for thee game out the front, somme of the girls playedd out back with the younger chhiilren whoo weree eneterrtainedd by the balls we brought them.
That evening wee all sat down in thes tudy hall to helpthe chiildreen with their homeework and began to learrn their namess, buiilding the foundationns of manyfriendsshiips we hope we will reemembr forever.
