Working Shoulder to Shoulder with The Small World Nepal

In Solukhumbu’s morning chill,
We climbed the path, the air so still.
A school stood proud among the peaks,
Where laughter danced and young hearts speak.

We brought our smiles, they shared their song,
A bond through stories, deep and strong.
Hands waved like prayer flags in the sky,
As clouds rolled gently drifting by.

Their eyes held dreams as vast as snow,
Where Everest’s silent spirits go.
In that brief day, we came as one—
A fleeting touch, a rising sun.

Then we came back to our home base to eat lunch and rest, then we hiked to The Small World school to dig out the foundations for a new building. We had to dig 6 foot deep 6×6 squares in the dirt to make space for the plumbing and foundations of the building. Then we relaxed before eating water buffalo soup for dinner and going to sleep.
