We've been honored to have a visiting doctor with us for the past week, a pediatric cardiologist named Dr. Talwar. He's been providing all kinds of awesome training for our clinic technician: standardizing our student checkups, designing an immunization schedule for the year, even talking with our aunties about how to pack our school lunches with the most nutrition possible. He lives in New York now, but grew up in India near the border of Nepal and has tons of medical experience working with rural communities in India. We absolutely love having him here, but he's cutting his time with us short to go help with the earthquake relief efforts in Kathmandu. What a guy!

From a small town in Southern California called Ojai, to across the country, to across the world to Nepal, this blog tracks my adventure. My names Piper Stump and tomorrow morning I leave for a trek across the world to Kathmandu with one of my great friends Orren Fox, an amazing bee/chicken keeper. In Kathmandu I spend two/three amazing days exploring temples and the city, while adjusting to time zones of course. I hope to take and post many photos. On Monday I travel from Kathmandu to Kopila Valley and stay and volunteer at an amazing children's home. The home is run by the most amazing woman named Maggie Doyne. She went to Nepal when she was 18 on a gap year after highschool, only expecting to travel through Nepal for a small amount of time. She saw child labor and all sorts of machiavellian exploitations and felt so compelled to change things she wired over all of her baby sitting money to start a safe house for children like the ones she witnessed that day. Today Maggie runs a children's home supporting 300+ children and woman, having adopted 45 of her own. She is evermore an inspiration to me and women all around the world. I am so grateful to work with a woman who is so empowered and scintillating and can only imagine the great things that will occur during the short 5 weeks I am there. I hope to use this blog as a way to communicate and share my trip as well as Maggie's story with everybody. Check out her blog at www.blinknow.org
